Qantas loses $860 million last year.

1. Yes. Qantas has a habit of mentoring internal candidates from being virtual plebs to C-suite executive. My money is on Hudson as the most likely candidate. Ms Wirth can’t be ruled out, but Hudson the most likely successor as she has the stronger financial skills.
2. Not likely. The C-suite view the grunt workers as a drain on finances and a unionised pain in the ass. Ms Wirth has a particular dislike for ‘overpaid’ flight crew, as does Alan and Co. It would take a CEO like former suit James Strong to change the QF culture. Dixon passed on the hatred of staff to Alan, who in turn has passed that down to his acolytes. It’s now ingrained.

It is known as the Upton Sinclair argument - "It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it."

AJ’s Legacy is a lot different when he can’t threaten to pull advertising spend.....anything missing(including embedded articles)?

Deano I don't know how old you are and I don't care, Maybe you were around when AN fell over, I was and I was there when it happened. You may or may not be aware that several pilots (and possibly other staff ) departed this life at their own hand after AN fell over.

To wish another airline or any company for that matter to go completely belly up and run the risk of these scenarios happening again shows a sick mind at work.

I don't work for QF.

Deano up til now you comments haven't bothered me one iota but this type of statement tells me you are a poor excuse for a human being.

However that is how capitalism works. Bankruptcy is ultimately a cleansing mechanism that keeps cleaning out the dead wood and enables new innovative entrants to come in. It also stops companies getting lazy. Just look what happens in industries when there is no real competition. The 737 is one very good example.

If your whole identity is tied up in one company and or your job then you have bigger issues that probably need to be dealt with by a professional.

That said even if QF did go broke I would be betting folding money that they will be nicely bailed out by the Labor government. They will fire the CEO and the board and recapitalise the airline with tax payers money. The management will walk away with the 10's of millions they have made and the public will be happy that QF still exist. Albanese will be hailed a hero for saving jobs etc etc.

Hoss I was around when AN collapsed and am aware of those that decided to end it all and obviously wish no person that outcome and was in no way referring to that side of things
I will however stand behind my post in saying that I truly wish QF/JQ would fail
It has been a toxic place to work under its current structure, it puts shareholder return above everything, AJ is plugging just holes in dykes ATM
Outsourcing, wet leasing, foreign crews, massive corporate pays, share buy backs, loss after loss and hundreds of new jets on order
Something will give very shortly
Yes there will be short term pain, but long term, this needs to happen
REX will eat away at their market share, AJ will lose this battle, the shareholders will revolt
The JQ Asian experiment was a disaster
JQ Darwin hub a disaster
Emirates deal another disaster

Post covid restart another disaster
And the list goes on

Will the new airlines replacing the now perished Jetstar and Qantas be more or less safe? Does Safety matter to you Deano? Have you seen the insides of Qantas and Jetstar check and training vs say Bonza or Rex?

Having seen the inside of Network, NJS and Alliance who fly a large percentage of Qantas flights I can tell you there is little difference. They all do the absolute minimum to meet CASA requirements of holding their AOC.

So are you calling REX and the yet to fly Bonza unsafe?

[Mr_App]

It was more a question vs a statement. Anyway, I get your point.

Deano, so who would replace QF and JQ? Does VA and ZL plug the holes? Pretty big networks to try and cover. Would take years and years.

Yet you want the airline group to fail and put 70% of current Australian airline pilots out of a job.

It has been a toxic place to work

So why do very few pilots (mainline) resign for greener pastures? To me a toxic place is one where 10% of pilots resign in a week.

REX will eat away at their market share, AJ will lose this battle, the shareholders will revolt

Really? Shares up 16% since last week’s results, Rex up 0%.

The JQ Asian experiment was a disaster

Vietnam and HK yes, SIN and JPN not so

A380s a disaster

Whilst in hindsight they probably wouldn’t have bought them as of today they’d wish they’d had all A380 capacity already back. It would be making money for them if they did.

Post covid restart another disaster

Not worse than VA’s restart.

And the list goes on

You missed:
Consecutive multi year billion dollar profits from 16-19, which no Australian airline could match.

Are you serious? Almost 300 A/C in QF group vs 50 in Rex. If you’re going to troll you need to improve

So its pointed out to you that a large scale airline failure will without question lead to the deaths of fellow pilots, with evidence to back up that assertion via the AN collapse. You acknowledge the reality of this, and then double down wishing for 70% of Australian pilots to lose their jobs anyway, and who knows how many to die, because "It has been a toxic place to work under its current structure"

Have you ever even worked for JQ or QF?

Honestly, what is wrong with you?

You don't like Qantas. Ok mate, "cool". Don't fly them, problem solved. The rest is absolute drivel that I've no doubt you'd rapidly fail to parrot in the physical presence of any of the people who would be affected by your malicious little fantasy.

Most people when they get the 'try again in 6 months letter' just get over it mate. This is spiteful, puerile nonsense.

[43Inches]

I do find the QF egotists funny though, anyone that disagrees with the roo loyalists is somehow a failed applicant. I can say I don't like QF in its current iteration and you wont find me down the back of a J* dumpster any time soon, but I definitely don't wish them broke or such. My comments are purely observations of the operation and management. 10 years ago I was much more in favor of QF over VA, now I'd rather catch the train, QF service is rock bottom now, barely a feed and all 4 domestics about the same offerings and cost and if QF and VA actually have a schedule I'm yet to see it work.
