Thought this was interesting...

Well I hope not. I would like to think that Qantas International would be around for a lot longer yet. Alan Joyce did say that he would not let the flagship business decay through lack of action". However, if times are so desperate for Qantas, I imagine they would call for desperate measures. But I sincerely hope not. If only the 787's were here, I am sure a lot of this speculation wouldn't be happening anyways. Furthermore, I am sure the majority of Australians, including the government, would not allow Qantas to disappear internationally.

The day the government intervene to save QANTAS is the the day I'm out of this country.
QANTAS is a private company and should be left to survive as best it can, If it goes belly up, then so be it. There are other Australian airlines to pick up the slack. |

Sooo I guess you're saying DJ could pick up the slack right away with a fleet of 737s and a few 777s? So where do u think you will go that's better than here?

DJ picked up the slack fron AN pretty quickly for an airline with half a dozen old 737-400's, they will do the same again, The current CEO has thought about this and has planned for the possible demise of QF International, I can't say anymore on this forum or I would lose my wedding tackle, watch this space

I guess James Kirby or SMH didn't bother to check the facts in the article before SMH released it on the internet or print? Quite an embarassing blunder!
Joyce had never worked for Ryanair - it was Aer Lingus, not Ryanair, confirmed after a 5 second search on google and the first search result, a link to Wikipedia... |

Oh you are good Andrew changing the focus off your airline onto another.
Mayby you should apply for PR positioning within the Qantas Group. They surely need it. |

Debt steadily increasing, asset values unchanged, revenue trending down, profits significantly down two years running. If I ran a company with such gloomy figures I'd be looking to change strategy too. The details from Qantas' 2010 report: Cash $3.7b Debt $5.1b (up 40% in 2 years). But increased debt hasn't led to an increase in asset values (acft etc)..... asset values have remained at $19b for 5 years now Revenue $14b (down two years running) Profit $116m (down almost 90% in 2 years from $970m) http://www.qantas.com.au/travel/airl...2010/global/en Last edited by Matt D; 7th February 2011 at 08:33 AM. |

if they had that much cash, they should make a capital repayment to all shareholders ASAP
