Agree with Keg - the cost of duplicating positions due to the split in the business is never answered. I would love someone to ask senior management the question in a public forum so everyone can hear the answer.

Why would they buy, when they have the where with all to just start up with a fleet of their choice, and then run them out?

Recap from Crikey May 2012
One might say Joyce is playing the Pollies this time. If you look at it he's lost shareholders, executives, staff, other airlines. Who's left? Canberra!
The death threat has moved from himself to the company. If canberra investigated like the NSW police, they may find nothing to act upon!!
Worth a read could have been written today.

God in heaven.
Non-reference to Allah unintended.
Why wouldn't they give it away? The Australian taxpayer gave it to Jetstar for nothing, so it's theirs to give to EK. Makes perfect sense....

That successive Governments, black, white or brindle, have put a huge for sale sign on this country, disgusts me.

I am absolutely disgusted, appalled etc etc. but the Govt. is in a difficult position. ASIC is a waste of space and that is a separate issue, but it is NOT (nor should it be) the governments job to 'interfere' with business. The boards job is to ensure the business is being run properly. Without a thorough understanding of the Aviation business (and I mean thorough, as in more thorough than most upper management staff at QF) you would simply believe the unending lies, mistruths and blame changing that emanates from 'Kool Aid' Coward St. As a professional politician, or even a lucky but incompetent business person like Clive, you either wouldn't care (Clive) or simply find it preposterous that people paid millions by a company to run it would be deliberately asset stripping on the sly. Also, these lovely people are constantly assuring you everything is fine, on track to outperform the latest Glorious Five Year Plan and you also get to use the beautiful lounges that have just been built at great expense - what could possibly be untoward? All the staff you meet are very happy, it quite possibly is (as you have been assured by even proven leaders like Cosgrove) just those obstreperous overpaid staff that are ruining progress. If your house is broken into, you do not sue the police or the government for allowing it to happen, but you prosecute the burglar. Maybe BGA got the job specifically because of his stature? He is perfect cat-burglar size, hard to spot and shifty!
Do not think I agree with the above, but I can understand how the lies and theft is being perpetrated.

The cost to employees health and the toxic culture which exists at QF is a disaster. Ultimately though, these pawns are just being moved around whilst a bigger picture is in play.
So in regards to ALAEA Fed Sec's first post on what splitting the business means, I would also like to stimulate discussion on the same topic but ask what effect the various possible outcomes of this would mean for the share price? Discuss..

Looks like the sackings of today are seeing them reverse some of this separation madness. We were hearing there were massive internal debates about the cost to run on two AOCs, doubling up on maintenance departments etc....
