From today's Crikey.com.au

Tips and Rumors

Trouble for Qantas to Dallas. Following on from Ben Sandilands' article on the Virgin-Delta deal: To make it worse about six weeks ago Boeing offered Qantas six new 777-300s, which were an option for American Airlines (it doesn't want them). Naturally it knocked them back. This info came from a pilot manager and a Boeing rep on a flight across the Pacific.

No comment.

... because to have taken them would be to admit that they've been wrong. :ugh:

A compelling argument for why executive performance bonuses should be held in trust for 3 (or even 5) years to ensure the outcome of their decisions are in the best interests of the airline and not the recipient of the bonus.

Obviously watching their pennies. They've just copped another $5million fine from the NZ Competition Watchdog for price fixing. Can't afford to buy anything . Bonuses to pay and all that!
