So QF about to sever its ties with mother England .. maybe the first steps toward a republic (or the Irish have the last laugh) ... I dont thinks so.
Or on the other hand QF do seem to be on a road to self destruction ...

I'll have a go at a guess also...
EK get Perth , adl and Bkk to free up the A330 for domestic .
EK get our BKK - LHR slots
We get daily flights to DXB
Any new EK 777's go to Jetstar for the SIN , HNL AND BKK routes to free up more A330's for QF Dom .
Deal with BA gone.
787 to JQ , based in SIN to feed Asia/ Europe ( fed by the 777 from Aus)
QF To BKK- gone
QF TO HNL - gone
QF TO FRA - gone
744 retirement accelerated
380 number 13 and 14 to be delivered.
All in place by Jun 2013.
First correct answer gets a seat on the board !

EK aren't going to 'get' Perth, they already have it, along with everyone else.
Current Perth -> west flights
SQ 3x daily
EK 3x daily
CX 10x week
MH 10x week
QF 2x daily
QR 3x week

Erh, is this telling us that the Dreamliner was cancelled because it didn't fit in with EK's fleet plan for QF?

I know we are pulling out of Frankfurt in October because QF told me last wednesday that they no longer need me up in Frankfurt in october because QF will no longer be flying there.
But i really doubt QF is pulling out of LHR (I know the managers that do work for QF up in LHR have heard nothing about QF pulling out of LHR). I will be very surprised if they do because QF are actually filling up business, first and premium economy with out much trouble (QF are by far the most expensive on that route too).

If all this is true, the Board better make sure they know what they are doing because they are betting the farm on a one roll dice.
Wonder how BA feel about being done over in the process.

And if that happens there is a slight difference between management and the board. The Board can be held accountable under Corps Law, look at James Hardy and many other recent events where shareholders have suffered major losses.

There may be some benefits for Qantas in any alliance with Emirates, but importantly, will it include access to cheaper fuel?
Without this in the equation, the board are only delaying the inevitable.
If included, it might go some way to justify cancelling the 787order.

How would QF get cheaper fuel? EK pay the market rate, which is why we sometimes tanker back to DXB. Please tell me you don't believe that Margie Jackson blurb about free fuel from years ago when she was trying to sell QF for a big bonus?

short flights long nights
Where the hell does this cheap/free fuel thing come from?
I came back from KWI the other day with an extra 30000kgs of fuel...oh I know EK gets paid to take fuel from KWI..everywhere else its free Give me a break!!!!
Emirates does NOT get free/cheap fuel people, full stop.!!!!!!!!

SOPs and hauntney I hope you are being careful with these old 777s as we want them in good nic when they get handed down to QF. Wonder if they will be delivered with a full tank of gas?
