Having read the latest news on Qantas' submission to the ACCC. In which Qantas will be forced to become a virtual airline & scale back on international routes.
AJ has proved himself to be more than a one trick pony.
He's already put one over FWA by grounding the airline & triggering FWA to suspend PIA.
Now he's threatening vapourising the International network if the ACCC fails to approve the EK tie up.

QF23 to BKK
What about QF23, the A330 to BKK. many of these people stop over in Thailand then connect code share to BA0010 to London. I wonder if this will be scraped as well?
Anyone have an opinion?

This isn't the CEO of a publicly listed company applying a not so subtle pressure to the regulator (ACCC) to approve the application for the code share is it? I hope the ACCC do plenty of due dilligence here, Qantas was doing just fine prior to a certain former CEO and his short sighted management style came along and filleted the company because he could. The code share is the only hope I think, but it should be approved on its merits, not because the CEO say so! The arrogance of the man

The last few QF23/24's I did there were no passengers availing themselves of the BA connection north or southbound. Passengers all made alternative arrangements to get to London.

Its good news for those of us here in Dubai, it probably means more visits from our friends working for QF. Also I am sure many QF staff will have friends in Dubai they can stay with, rather than paying 100's of dollars for a hotel in SIN if the loads are a bit heavy.
Not sure about the extra super grand poobah 380 movements here though, every time I see one fly overhead the golf course I run for cover incase bits fall off the wing...

I like this from the Qantas submission -
Emirates is a fully commercial, unsubsidised business which is independently managed and audited.
But I thought they go their fuel for nothing?

Hope everyone saw these gems in the ACCC submission.
-harmonising IT systems;
-joint airport facilities;
-potentially joint offices for sales activities;
-potentially other aspects of operations including ground handling, catering, joint procurement and flight operations.
Doesn't leave much left except Executive ranks.

They all seem like logical items to me, why would they double up on any of these items when they can share and get it cheaper?

Jitconnect could have their pilots work for free and the operation would still lose money! Reason being is that the aircraft utilization is way too low. Of course the plan was to have Jitconnect pilots fly over the ditch and then do some domestic australian flying but this has been hit on the head by Canberra. Bottom line, you have to fly these new NG's to make any money and it doesn't matter what the crew get paid!!! Bringing the NZ NG's back to the motherland will be a big plus and the old classics will get retired sooner!!
