I'm sure John still has strong ties with the current QF board.
Do his share options or DJ pay more dividends.....
If QF were to get a mole inside DJ, you know.......say the CEO.... it could be an easy way to eliminate a competitor.
........ just saying....
Hmm... lots of flawed logic there! Besides, he may be asked to dispose of any QF shares as part of his employment.
I think the real risk is to QF. Here is a guy who knows them inside out and worked there for 36 years, but now is the head guy at one of their biggest competitors. Sure he had a ~12 month break (perhaps due to a non-compete clause), but the knowledge he would have about Jetstar and Qantas is immense.
