Clifford gone/ Goyder Next Chairman
Yes, an existing aircraft will stay longer. They should never have let OJT go.
I think they are under the pump. The network guru Myers has gone, the training section is on an austerity drive, me thinks things aren’t travelling as well as they would like everyone to think.

Mr Buchanan after securing the 788 from QF mainline passionately explained that the Long Haul Low Fare model was unsustainable.
He was sent on gardening leave shortly thereafter.
Fort Fumble is devoid of any differing opinion.
Despite Tino's best efforts, the ever increasing fuel price exposes them for what they are; One Trick ponies.
So, what about all the work going on in the desert?? No comment??
Maybe OJT is one of them??
I don't know if it is, or exactly how many are on the way back, it is more than one.
Tootle pip!!
As has been repeated in the thread, Qantas need a new fleet..
With this dynamic duo (Messrs Clifford and Joyce ) at the wheel, Qantas has sped headlong into peak hour traffic with their steely gaze fixed firmly in the rear view mirror (Apologies to the Hon PJ Keating)
Qantas need a new fleet.
Off to the Wood shed Leigh.

Please define new fleet and the routes they will work.
I know nothing about the 747s in the desert, OJT has gone, sold I believe. I believe Myers told them spending $600 million on the 380 refurbishment with fuel at the current price was a waste of money and would be better spent on more 787s.
Nunc est bibendum
There are no doubt some areas that could do with some trimming. I’d start with the list of names that attended basket weaving in the street a few weeks back ( that’s not a euphemism folks, that actually happened as part of NAIDOC week) or those that took time out to do yoga during ‘safety and welbeing week’ (funnily enough I didn’t see that offered to front line staff between aircraft transits or dealing with our customers). Where they can cut in flight training or Flight Ops though has got me stuffed. Already people in those departments are under significant work stress and doing big hours to get the job done.
Wombat...I think you’ll find no one hates Qantas at all. Most people I know have had to endure a decade or more of pointless corporate rape of what used to be one for worlds great airlines. Absolutely none of what has been done at QF was necessary to keep the company doors open, it was all done to line the pockets of an elite few.
if you’re happy to stand by while the company is allowed to decay, perhaps it is you who should head overseas.

The tide is going out, fuel price is rising. Oil traders have positioned accordingly. 4 November may see the term structure indicate more contango; QF fuel expense rises.
With Mr Clifford off to fairy land, just in the nick of time, rather like Rio Tinto. Tom wasn't so lucky.
A fuel inefficient fleet and petrol prices at the pump down edging towards $2.00 a litre, Little Napoleon needs another distraction.
It might be 'transformation purge' it, it may even be industrial, but the simply fact is Qantas needed a new fleet a decade ago.
Mr Joyce can spend his remaining time virtue signalling the entire dying print media, but the facts speak for themselves..

Everyone can voice their concerns but the reality is, the new chairman, the board, the media.......don't give a s%$T.
No one appears capable to take a clinical look at the numbers nor see the trainwreck approaching, that whoever the next CEO is, will inherit.
Bring on the next happy clappers meeting in the street!
Did someone mention engagement? What a fine set of numbers for a case study.
The future will get very ugly and people will lose their livelihoods.
That's the legacy.

Pick one? All the airlines flying the Pacific did, whether it be a B777 or a B789, "the World's most enlightened airline management' chose to ignore this, instead getting lucky with a low fuel price. The fuel included CASK on any route is lower with a big twin. Lower fuel expense would cushion earnings volatility.
As was evident in FY15, $597 million of the 'turn around profit' was reduced fuel expense as fuel prices fell.
Axiomatically, the reverse is true: the impact is much more a problem for QF with their fleet metrics than the competitors as Operating expense rise disproportionately on a rising fuel price.
This is the genesis of the ICCT article in January 2018.

If it is true as Keg alluded to that the there is yet another 'efficiency drive' then again Fort Fumble is a dollar short and a day late.
Add on the massive savings coming to them when all the longhaul legacy aircraft have gone to be replaced by pilots on the B scale 787 rates. Within ten years I would suggest it will be in the hundreds of millions of dollars.
Rumour doing the rounds that QF will be all twin in the next 5 years. I don’t understand how that’s possible with the capital expenditure limits, but that’s the latest rumour. I guess somewhere between 5 and 10 would be accurate.

If Evert Meyer goes, then it’s not a good sign at all.
He is the only person in the whole show who has any original ideas on routes/aircraft and the know-how to make it happen.
I believe planning for the replacement of the 737s and A330 were also not well received.
