Great News!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great news, the world (and industry) needs more ladies in the top jobs.
I don't know Georgina, although I know a few people who have worked with her and they speak very highly of her.
Redsnail, about time you come back down here to take one of these top jobs!
We need more women in aviation.

She has previously worked under one of the best Leaders in a CP role at AO CNS Capt Peter Quinn. So she has had the best of example upon which to emulate herself.
He was that rare combination of someone in a structural leadership role who commanded respect through his integrity and actions. Just one example of the calibre of the man was his insistence on being rostered on every Xmas and New Years Morning for the early morning departure CNS/OOL.
I've heard reports of B767 Fleet Capt Sutton regurgitating the kool aid to persons who knew her in her former iteration as a brilliant line Capt in AO.
Time will certainly tell but IMHO in order to climb the greasy pole in QF these days one must behave a certain way.

My goodness - she has come a long way from her days of flying scenics at Wilpena Pound then later RPT for Augusta Airways.

I didn't always agree with Georgina and we had our share of spats over a myriad of issues but she always had my respect as a person. She'll succeed or not on her ability and no doubt nicknames may well come from that but sexist nicknames like Mrs Doubtfire are appalling.

Well. Hopefully she brings a bunch of QF guys and gals over there and completely obliterates the Ansett cartel. The name calling obviously comes from the current mismanagement vermin who are currently arranging the band for one final "auld lang syne" which was sung out in 2001.
She already has a new nick name.
Mrs Doubtfire.
