They have decided on a profit strategy, so they are flogging everything aviation related and buying a block of flats

No they’re going to buy a car park at an airport.

They’ve bought the Ansett brand name from Korda Mentha. They’re renaming the 320s Skystars, and they are launching back into the premium space to take on QF.

Bereal, yes, clearly you are not senior management material, because that is an excellent idea (and no I am not being sarcastic!) and I wish I had thought of that

i live in hope that the new bloke has his **** in a pile and he leads us to the promised land, as opposed to the last bloke who lead us to the steps of the bankruptcy court.

Not far from the truth. Rex chairman built a new hotel next to their HQ. Making squillions from qantas engineers when they're on ground school and rex crew. They also built enough room for a few sims inbetween HQ and the hotel.

I’m optimistic snakecharmer. Got to let people have a go.

Airport accom in Sydney would make some serious
cash. Getting the land the issue.

I reckon buying a secure or Wilson’s car park in Brisbane city is the ultimate cash cow. 42 bucks for an hour if not pre booked at one joint.

Highway robbery and much much easier to do when compared to running aeroplanes.

I think Wilson’s is owned by one of China’s richest men. Same man ownes SA power. Recall seeing a 4 corners special on it.

In Melbourne and Sydney if you aren’t careful where you park you’ll be out of pocket several hundred dollars. Made a mistake once and the sum reduced the other half to tears. It was hundreds and hundreds.

Brace ypurselves at VA for a considerable loss announcement [7 years in a row]. Investors say no more financial support. HKG hasn't helped now as are the poor Tiger results.

You can rebrand Tiger as many times you want, a fleet of 13 aircraft is never going to contribute on any form of scale to the group. Which is why Tony Davis back in 07 wanted 25/30 aircraft here as it was the only way to get scale.

Offloading loss making Virgin kiwi or pacific routes to Tiger isn’t the answer either.

Could always change Tiger back to Virgin Blue with the old retro pain scheme. Branson would love it. More Royalties.

There is no more money from the Shareholders as this train heads to the station. If the CCO and COO positions come from within the VA group of managers then it is not going to be a smooth arrival at that station either. Time for big decisions and if stopping HKG is one then where do they put those A330's? Can't afford to park them and can't afford to operate them. Leaning the business means smoothing the Fleets and the product while making it all consistent.

I bet they are trying to work out the former and current managers in Jamie Freed's article. In a former time there would have been a witch hunt looking for them.

Park them next to the E190's and ATR72's....start a museum and charge admission perhaps!

Well they used to fill them up flying East-West across the country so there is an idea.

Looks like the new boss better do something fast!
Rebranding Tiger? More cash.
A330 the next issue.

Tiger was operating profitably before the brilliant decision to re-equip with 737s they didn't have and wouldn't buy...….

Another loss coming when Qantas posts another decent profit, share price is depressed (depressing still...) so delist from ASX as minimal private shareholders, Etihad and HNA aren't exactly in a strong position themselves so primed to sell, SQ take control and rebrand Tiger to Scoot to compliment their existing brand. Seems to me it's definitely more possible than bringing back E190s 😆

A good theory, and although I personally doubt the eventuation; Singapore couldn’t do a worse job of running the place??
