I hear ya. I just got a letter from AGL advising how much my power bills will be going up. If I repeat the words I blurted out reading this letter on this forum I would be banned for life.

My last trip was with Americain FO he remarked that last month on the direct BNE - DXB 27th June he had AJ and CEO of Jetstar ( I don't know his name )
Capt was Aussie and confirmed they were said CEOs of the White Rat and Pornstar Airlines.
So I think there is some truth in this story...... Will see in few coming months

You betcha it is fishy, there was nothing specific about the announcement or even the slightest information that would support any change in the business.
Its about time ASIC starting looking at these mysterious leaks and their effect on the share price and there is a well established pattern emerging.
If anything the damn share price should have gone down with the results of the employee survey which was released, but no the exact opposite with nothing specific.Looks like the nod and the wink are worth more than fact here.

How clever is the Qantas board.
They ended up with the best of both worlds.
AJ's belligerent management style, kicking union heads and taking names, along with Borghetti's vision, without having to pay JB any money. The only drawback is that AJ has to wait for JB to show him what his next move needs to be before he can start working on it.
All this would make perfect sense if Joyce was the lowest paid airline executive in the world, not the highest.

Every time they leak a pending announcement that proves to be false, the share price settles lower than where it started. But at least the public didn't hear too much about the pesky employee survey.
Short term gain, long term pain.

Interesting to see the share price bounce and the so called market experts commentary on the move in the press today.
And the benefit to qantas and its shareholders?
At least the remaining loyal qf passengers might fly one more time with qf in a westerly direction before working out they could take any of the multiple daily flights from any australian port with ek.
Rapidly increasing the demise of qantas until Alan and Leigh decide to close the door, as its cheaper and easier to let emirates run the pacific by themselves,
Shrinking to grow.......Nice one Alan.

Why ?
Why didnt QF fly to DXB with its own metal?
It could've positioned several A330s in DXB and run services between there and European ports.
I remember a discussion on PPrune about this awhile ago.None of the naysayers really offered a satisfactory reason as to why not

What is the real advantage of going by DXB, it is roughly 230nm further than SYD LHR via SIN and 330nm further than via HKG.
For that matter, MEL to LHR via DXB is 150nm further than via SIN and 70nm more than via HKG.
Incredibly many people in the press and public still think of the world as flat and believe we are an end of the line carrier rather than a feeder to our own domestic network, something a middle eastern carrier does not have.

Clarification
Thats all fine if LHR is your destination.I've never been fond of flying backwards to get to Europe.
DXB to ATH FCO,IST and just about every other place in Europe are far more accessible from DXB than LHR.
LHR is like LAX...a bloody nightmare.Being able to avoid LHR as a transit is better than being cured of an ingrown toe nail.
When you are flying at mach .85 150nm is immaterial compared to transitting LHR and re checking in to go to CDG
SYD/DXB/CDG is no brainer

Serious question. Has any senior Qantas manager or group of Qantas management had shares vest or due to vest soon?

argusmoon,
I appreciate that but you could equally hub out of Singapore, Hong Kong or Bangkok... oh wait a moment we use to do that and the best brains in the company decided it was better just to code share.
Soon there will be nothing left the way we are heading.
