Hmmm. I wonder what that portends for service levels.

I am surprised, almost shocked, at the appointment of Alan Joyce, the head of JQ, as the next CEO of Qantas? Based on the limited discussion I would guess most people would not care or feel he is a good choice to replace Geoff Dixon....

What worries me is the potential for QF to scale back further domestic services and run JQ on routes other than their premium SYD-MEL / SYD-PER etc

God help us if they do.

If they do, I think it will start a cycle. There are to many people out there that just wont do LCC. Dj has picked up on that. I'd like Qantas to get overly coughy and create room for a new full service domestic carrier. Shake it up a bit, then watch Qantas try and claw back market share. I the end it would make Qantas a better airline.
