Yes, we will, but is that person currently in the QF GMC?
......would it be possible for a successful internal candidate to change the current toxic relationship between management and employees? 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. |

I personally think he’ll stay until 2025 after the first Sunrise flight. He could’ve bailed out in 18/19 after returning the airline to profitability but stayed because they had the Sunrise plan coming up. He doesn’t need more money but wants the legacy to have introduced the longest flight route in existence.

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. 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. |

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?

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. |

It has been a toxic place to work REX will eat away at their market share, AJ will lose this battle, the shareholders will revolt The JQ Asian experiment was a disaster A380s a disaster Post covid restart another disaster And the list goes on Consecutive multi year billion dollar profits from 16-19, which no Australian airline could match. |

I will however stand behind my post in saying that I truly wish QF/JQ would fail 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. |
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.
