What do you want him to do Montague? You know there are rules that CEO's have to play by to manage the stock market and the ASX in general, Qantas afterall is a publicly listed company, not the state owned benevolent society some think or wish Qantas to be. Indeed even Virgin did the same, by announcing an outline of their basic plan a few months before, along with a date for all when will be revealed.
I personally trust that he will do what NEEDS/MUST to be done and I think for the time being at least the board is happy they have someone who will make and do the hard decisions to get the company re-invigorated. It is just a pity that about all that is left is workforce reform hence all this mud slinging and character assassination of Joyce in particular. It wouldn't matter who was at the helm, even Borghetti, the message and realities would be the same.
