Qantas buys Alliance
In reality does it cost QF $0 to buy out QQ ?
Assuming QF net worth goes up by whatever QQ is worth, they could therefore issue a bunch of new QF shares to an equivalent value to ex QQ shareholders
Nooooo this can't be right....
Have a look at the Scheme of Arrangement. Qantas will issue new shares and give Alliance shareholders one new Qantas share for each of their Alliance shares, which will then be cancelled. So the dollar cost to Qantas is only the cost of their transaction advisers, lawyers etc who will make some millions out of it. How the market reacts and whether it reprices/revalues Qantas shares we will see in good time.

1 June 1987 - 5 May 2022. Just short of 35 years before yet another Australian airline gets 'acquired' and will ultimately disappear into the annals of Australian aviation history.
Probably inevitable...........
Have you asked the employees and aircrew of the following present and past airlines whether they benefited by their employer airline being acquired by Qantas?
Probably inevitable...........

Well that will keep the F100’s flying for Atleast a few years.
It truly is an impressive plan to ensure QF frequent flyers can purchase a seat on an aircraft while making a substantial profit on the standard cost of a ticket vs the cost of the frequent flyer points.
long live Qantas loyalty… the most profitable entity in the group…. How to monetise good will. Amazing

By issuing new shares, QAN is essentially diluting their share holders by increasing the amount of shares outstanding, which effectively reduces share price. However, if the transaction is EPS ( earnings per share) accretive, this will be deemed positive by the market and ultimately increase share price value once the potential cost savings/ efficencies ( * reduced competition) effects are realised.

Tailwheel,
with due respect, half the airlines you have named were not acquired by Qantas.
$4.75 is the effective transaction price for each Alliance share.

That is why they have Saabs and not Dash 8s.
You also missed Southern Airlines and ARAQ in your list.
The only other nitpick is that I don’t think Qf Freight ever owned aircraft or employed pilots. It was a business that contracted lease aircraft, and freight space on aircraft to move its freight around the world. Still does.

OK. Weren’t Kendall and Hazeltons acquired by Ansett, were caught up in Ansett’s demise and then acquired from the Receivers by the Singaporean to form Rex?

And the employees at Australian Airlines that is now rhe domestic arm of QF mainline would be just fine with their lot, I would think.

Plus Impules airlines IS Jetstar, and Australia Asia was just a paper airline operating a Qantas 747SP with Qatas crew to get around Chinese anger at recognising Taiwan.

Australian Asia also operated a B767-300 in their colours after the SPs were sold.
Absolutely to your second sentence.
Also the former Impulse pilots were very pleased to come off their previous employment contracts with Gerry to become full time employees. IIRC.
If you are looking for good job security, minor legal accountability, good wages and employment conditions and don't like working under bullying or intimidatory regimes then DO NOT repeat DO NOT enter the aviation industry that is unless you like wearing a uniform to air shows.
If you seek the above, suggest you head for the rail industry.

Heard the same (seen an email). Very interesting considering I personally know many pilots who have more than enough hours (but no Ejet rating) that applied 6 months ago and still havent heard anything.
One would hope the unions will step up and make noise that Alliance is importing pilots when theres many Australian pilots availble and out of work.
