Hrdlicka gone?
A mate pointed out to me a media release posted today to the NZ and Australian stock exchanges by A2 Milk indicating that Mrs Hrdlicka is their newly appointed CEO taking up the role at the start of FY19- so presume July 18.
Obviously didn't enjoy working as head of loyalty? Wasn't going to replace AJ? Does anyone recall how long ago that reshuffle happened when she moved on from JQ? |

Wow, that's funny. Her last job was head of loyalty. For 4 weeks!!!!!!!!!!!
|
News article here at SMH.
|
The search is on in Oxford Street for her replacement..
|
From sources she did not do well at WOW.
Mr Evans is there at JQ to clean up in preparation for among other reasons IFRS16. He will return to QAN... |
dammit - have to find a new brand of milk to drink......
|
Milk, skincare. Seems to be the path of failed JQ executives.
|
What's IFRS16?
I'm not surprised she has gone as it is a big drop in responsibility and prestige to go from being a Group CEO to being EM of a division that I imagine runs itself mostly. I think the HK debacle was her responsibility so from what I can tell if you cost the business a lot of money or damage its reputation, or both, you are eventually replaced. |
At least she wont be AJs replacement so that is a good thing. Evans is in the box seat now

“Jetstar HK was a big positive for us, because we’ve been able to leverage off our learnings”. :yuk::yuk::yuk::yuk: |
Sorry yes silly me. I haven't been drinking my Kool Aid while reading Yammer lately.:ok:

Far be it for me to run to the defence of management executives but tell me Green Goblin and others who are implying the same:

With return on capital at Jetstar at the best part of 15 percent including Jetstar Asia, an extremely good safety record and complaints from the rest of us tech crew now focused almost exclusively around rostering issues, it seems passing strange that this period of time would be aptly described as a failure by any objective measure. If I take my retirement from Jetstar a little earlier than usual and choose to go back to GA at some point that I am therefore defined as a failure? Or does every decision I ever make have to be seen as a tremendous success and every job I take necessarily bigger and better than the last? That would be a pretty high benchmark for anyone to live by. Perhaps you lot set me straight though. |

I'm interested to know what you define as a "failed JQ executive"....really.

The J board fiasco. Her presence at JQ was nothing but a negative. |
Silly Willy- since when has a Low Cost Carrier returned 15%. No Airline in the world returns that! All Airlines need to cease to trade because Jetstar is amazing!

Lookleft.
IFRS19 comes into effect on 01/01/19. It is a new financial requirement that eliminates most rentals and leases from off balance sheet accounting. This will impact on companies credit ratings, borrowing costs and over gearing. I am confident there may be some major issues for the Qantas Group if the rumours about their accounting practices are true. |
And this financial year , so I’m told , Income streams need to be “ teased from the integrated reporting model “ that Qantas Group has been using .
Should make it easier to discern where the money is actually realised next Financial Year . |

Jane took control of the last EA and sorted that real quick when it was a mess. Surely a good result for pilots? Does the rest really matter? |

Yeah she could have stepped in sooner, but I think the enlightening "chat" she had with the Sydney crew (after she took it on) made more of a point than the proposed action. Did that actually get approved in the end, thought it may have been held off for fresh negotiations? Anyway done now.
In my experience she was a no bull**** lady who told it straight. |

Wait, you read Yammer? |
Just another carpet bagging , pseudo Manager , absentee landlord shown the door.
Nothing to see , move along now ! The Qantas group is full of them ! |
"Jane took control of the last EA and sorted that real quick when it was a mess.
Surely a good result for pilots? Does the rest really matter?" Surely you jest?!?! I'm lead to believe that after PIA was approved AJ turned up to get things moving. Mind you that was 2 years down the track from the expiry of the last EBA. JH's only response was, according to sources, "there's no more money"! Fooled 70 something % of the drivers who signed up for a 18 month pay freeze and she received over $4M in salary/bonuses. Outlandish for a LCC to pay such gratuity when the constant message is "we have to cut costs". Looking at QF/JQ finances for 16/17 she received over $8M and now has promptly run away leaving the low cost 'conditions' to those that remain and actually have a long term stake at JQ. The only interest these managers appear to possess is short-term self interest & not a lot more! |
Sheez ok ok! You guys will have to find a new brand of milk.

Most of us have to buy the Woolworths brand |
and of course who can forget the wonderful 'improvements' to staff travel for her JQ minions that she signed off on!
(For those not aware, everyone in the QF group was made equal on JQ aircraft while JQ staff were left remaining as second class citizens on QF aircraft) PG |
What blow.n.gasket says :ugh:
|
he 'I make sure I'm home every night with my family' quote when here entire workforce is almost exclusively shift workers disengaged the entire workforce. On the other hand, Jetstar Hong Kong SHOULD have ben operating. Operating a business in China by a foreign entity no matter how many locals you put on the board has always been difficult. Start a business, the Chinese put as many administration obstacles in your way until eventually you give up. You sell "for a song" what is left to get SOMETHING back, and the Chinese move in, employ your business model without the obstacles and reap the rewards. Easy. Although in this case, there's no more a/c. Perhaps she failed to see how things were done and dug in against them. Still, the engagement of staff is critical in a successful business and especially in a NEW business and from most reports, she lived in a "different world". |
she lived in a "different world" Her decisions had immediate effect, but it will take some time to undo the damage that was inflicted under her leadership. Jboards, the Chief Pilot experiment etc etc ............:mad: The list goes on. |
[QUOTE=AEROMEDIC;9990913]Well, it WAS accepted by Joyce from the outset that she be able to do this.
If she wanted to work hours at head office that allowed her to pick her kids up from school that's all good, but to gloat about it I'm a newspaper article really wasn't a good move. We all gave her a chance when she started but this was one of many incidents that discredited her with the workforce. Don't let the door hit you on the way out Jayne (real name Carla fyi). |
Her less than frank handling of JQ HK cost her. Eyebrows were raised when certain documentation showed exactly who footed the bill.
|
She has made a very smart move to a2.
It's a money making machine that keeps on giving. If she had any damage to her reputation this will restore it. Come AJ stepping down after the 100 years party (3 or4 years) she will get the job as his replacement with the endorsement of AJ. She was his protege and he would prefer her than Evans to continue his legacy to QF (ffs). All her negatives posted here are probably a positive from a management point of view but I guess we'll have to wait for AJ to go. I'd be willing to give him a push 💩🙌😢 |
Indamiddle, I very much doubt that will be how it happens. Evans' move from CFO to CEO of International and now to Jetstar says to me very much that he is being primed to take over from AJ. He was the architect of Transformation, and now provided he doesn't f**k up at JQ, will give him experience to both major flying businesses.
JH got something of a demotion going from JQ to Loyalty, and obviously saw it as the prime time to look to greener pastures. |
What transformation? Nothing transformed apart from some bonuses.
|
.... and the narrative.
|
...ah, but that is all one needs in order to please the shareholders. The narrative is the truth, as far as they are concerned.
|
Well I guess they blew a few hundred million so that's something

So that is why all these JQ A320's are coming off lease and being purchased by QF (Just have to look at the weekly CASA registration reports)
|
The impact will be minimal as Qantas already discloses its lease obligations. This standard (IFRS 16) is a substantial change and will remove many of the distortions |
