Monty - QF have made it clear it owuld be an internal appointment for a while now and it was always between those 3.
Unlike some here, I will have confidence that the QF board have appointed the right person for the job. Also, just because he has come from JQ does not mean he is going to turn QF into JQ. Now he also must be doing something right as JQ employees tend to have better moral than QF.... lets hope he can bring that across with him. I think the guy also has more personality than the other 2 and he has obviously shown he has more potential than them as well. Interesting they bring out the news today - I presume it is to take the ocnversaiton of their 744 incident |

I doubt it Monty - I think both will walk, but they might not stay in the industry. I would be very surprised if they stay - they have publicly stated thier goal to become the CEO and this was their chance.

I think JB would have been a much better appointment imho. God forbid we will all be doing the JQ jump in the future

At 42 he might be around for a while.

True, but Gregg is only 48 and Borghetti would be mid 40's. Dixon was seen as "old" when he was appointed at 60 and yet he will retire a month short of his 69th's birthday.

Do you mean the Captain of QF30 ? Many are touting him as a hero but to fast-track him to the top job...?

Some of us still want a 'full service' airline!

Personally, i doubt we will ever see QF turning into JQ, whether Alan Joyce the head or someone else. They are a premium airline who would like to stay that way i believe, and that was probably indicated to Alan in the lead up to his appointment by Geoff Dixon. While no doubt some lessons of economy class runnings may be of benefit to QF, i doubt we will ever see a big consolidation. Look at UA - they created a low cost offshoot, became profitable, and they shut it down to absorb the aircraft - now UA's future is looking pretty grim. As much as UA needed Ted, i think Qantas need the premium customers just the same. Rhys |

Just because he comes from JQ doesnt mean he will turn QF into a LCC. He has worked at full service airlines QF, AN, EI before going to JQ! I am confidant (as Im sure the QF board are) that he will continue with their 2 carrier strategy. JQ have been growing and QF have been improving their premium offerings (lounges, onboard etc). Can't see why this won't continue - albeit with a younger and possibily more energetic leader. |
