SF and RP,

Yup ... I think that pretty well sums it up.

What was that bit about failing to learn from History?

Out of interest what is stopping QF management from sending all future aircraft to its subsidiaries like Jetconnect (in Nz) or Network. They paint them up in QF colours, the staff wear QF uniforms and management pay far less to the subsidiaries to fly them on their behalf.

Could this happen with future QF aircraft deliveries?

I'm not trying to wind anyone up, but it would seem that this is the next step in their master plan to outsource what used to be QFs bread and butter.

Forget splitting the airline in two, the human wrecking balls responsible for this mess need their heads split in two, so to speak.

AJ initially termed the QF / JQ relationship as "One Airline Two Great Brands"

There has been absolutely no internal relationship between the two as far as one airline entity was concerned.

Two AOC's
Two pilot groups
Two Management Structures
Two business units

No wonder AJ's strategies and policies have been lost on the employees.

Employees have never understood let alone achieved 'buy in' to the airlines strategies.

Recent example is the return of Mainline to Hamilton Island. Employees and the general community didn't buy in to the withdrawal from the route.

AJ withdrew QF installed Jetstar and attempted sell the move as more choice to the consumer.

Premium passengers lost the premium sector offering of the Qantas Group and chose Virgin.

MC.

Absolutely nothing!

Watch this space. :mad:
