Will be nice to not hear it mentioned incessantly during eba negotiations. Took up way too much time and oxygen up with a bloke that was never going to budge not only on business seating but anything ala JWI.

777Nine pretty much covered the main points, but I'll gladly add to it.

The acquisition of Tiger
The whole Bali debacle
Running 330's from Perth to Abu - costing millions when it didn't even happen
The ATR's
The contest of 2014 with no winners
Hedging fuel incorrectly, with the ex-head of Caltex on your board

I honestly can't believe you'd sit there and say he (and the board) have made smart decisions, while he smugly sits in Business class and asks the LA - SYD inbound crew what he should name his new P1 (actually happened) after taking a bonus when the company is making its what, 6th straight loss?
Just looking back through this thread... sorry “P1”... remind me what that is again...

he did alright for a boy who started life in Qanras as a bloke who delivered the mail. he got lucky with managers that liked him. He then got close toGeoff Dixon and the he really climbed the ladder. In my opinion he way overachieved . I knew him well , dealt with him .He could be very charming or a bastard

I see, geez, an even bigger ****** that I thought.

Reminds me of Phillip boring residents of Lockerbie who’s houses had burned after PA103 how much trouble they had “getting the smoke smell out of Windsor Castle...”
