All looking good, nice little bonus to spend on something nice!

Hear,hear and nice little dividend to buy a new boat!
|
It's good to see that Qantas international (the perennial loss maker according to Joyce over the years) made more profit than the entire Jetstar group, as did Qantas Domestic. In fact, as usual no mention was made of how much profit Jetstar international made except "strong".

Smoke and mirrors, spin etc etc.
I just love the way the media take it all hook, line and sinker. "A stunning turnaround from a carrier on its knees only 2 years ago blah blah blah" Utter rubbish! |

The Co was never on its knees.
It's called creative accounting.......... |
Care to elaborate? Seems like a pretty good turnaround to me... I would hazard a guess that BHP did something similar this FY. |
Some people always moan, making a profit, making loss. We had the same comments over here when Willie Walsh, Joyces mate, turned BA around from £4mil a month loss!! Or perhaps the same creative accounting??
|
half year results back in Feb said scheduled retirements to 744 fleet were being deferred. I notice a global broker listed 3 QF 744ERs yesterday. No mention of this pending fleet change in yesterday's report?
|
Throwing out a line to see if there are some nibbles?
|
............hang on Keg. I haven't bought my boat yet!!!!!

Walsh is Joyce's second cousin. |
Bloomberg piece which includes a 7 minute interview (unable to embed) discussing fuel hedging and 787 routes:
Rejuvenated Qantas Eyes More Boeing 787 Dreamliners
Qantas Airways Ltd. could potentially more than quadruple its fleet of Boeing Co. Dreamliners as long as the first few aircraft generate a profit, Chief Executive Officer Alan Joyce said. Australia’s largest carrier is due to receive the first of its eight Dreamliners at the end of 2017, and has options and purchase rights to buy another 45 of the long-range, fuel-efficient aircraft. “I’d like to order all of them if I can make a good return out of them,’’ Joyce said in an interview with Bloomberg Television Wednesday. “This aircraft’s technology is going to change the game for Qantas.’’ The Sydney-based airline’s Jetstar subsidiary already operates 11 787s. Getting new planes will enable more ultra-long non-stop flights to London and Dallas from Australian cities as Joyce, 50, turns around Qantas -- known locally as the Flying Kangaroo. On Wednesday, the carrier reported record profits and announced its first dividend in seven years, helped by the Irishman’s restructuring moves such as retiring old planes and deferring orders for eight A380 superjumbos from Airbus Group SE. Four-Month High Qantas shares jumped as much as 5.3 percent in Sydney to their highest intraday level in more than four months after the carrier reported an 84 percent jump in annual net income. Joyce has reversed losses after cutting thousands of jobs and dropping unprofitable routes as part of a A$2 billion ($1.5 billion) transformation program. The airline is working on the first destination for its 787 and will announce the route at the end of this year. Options include Melbourne-Dallas, Perth-London and Brisbane-Dallas, Joyce said in the interview. Qantas uses the A380 to fly to Dallas from Sydney, a 16-hour journey that is one of the world’s longest commercial flights. The Dreamliner will allow Qantas to bypass many of the traditional airline hubs, Joyce said. Joyce emphasized the importance of making money with the aircraft on an earlier call with reporters. "We have to demonstrate we can make money out of the eight we have,” he said. “Once we’ve done that, we’ll be comfortable in ordering more." With Joyce seeking more 787s, the airline’s fractured relationship with the A380 superjumbo doesn’t look like mending. Joyce reiterated in the interview that Qantas doesn’t need the remaining eight A380s on order. Qantas operates its 12 A380s on routes like Sydney or Melbourne to London via Dubai, and to Hong Kong, Dallas and Los Angeles. “The 12 we have today actually have a very good use," Joyce said. "They operate at big hub airports with slot restrictions. We see a use for 12. We don’t see a use for more than 12. We don’t see a need for those last eight aircraft." |
I remember being told by a JQ Captain, he had it on absolute authority that: "Jetstar had been offered all 12 QF A380's but JQ has declined the offer...."

And how is the other mob going? Or perhaps we shouldn't ask the difficult question because the contrast would be a touch too stark.

turned BA around from £4mil a month loss!! |
Has the little fella finally had his teeth done? Times must be good.
|
Bloggsy, that is only 48 million quid a year loss, amateur stuff!
Takes real professionals to lose hundreds of millions a year, year on year! If it wasn't so sad it would be funny! |
The 3 billion dollar question is: How long before the Irishman decides he wants the business class passengers back and starts capacity war mark 2? He might wake up one day and decide he wants 70%.
Reminds me of the board game Monopoly. Once the momentum starts you can't stop it no matter what you do. Certainly has the cash to do it. |
