The numbers tell the story with QF

Interesting opinion piece:

Corporate hero or union villain; who cares? When it comes to winning glossy magazine covers, Alan Joyce is without peer. The man is downright sultry too.
Those with a more discerning eye for glamour may quibble - and there are indeed many shots to choose from in the Qantas chief executive super-modelling portfolio - but we personally favour the classic elegance of the finger-sur-le-chin pose, one of Joyce's later works.

Still, many of the same old concerns will linger. Jetstar flies long-haul. Does it maintain its own planes? How are the costs and the revenues split? The net result may entail more management, more reporting lines and more divisions but not necessarily more profits.
As a tactic in the crusade against the dreaded hydra-headed unions, Joyce revealed the international business lost $214 million last year. But Qantas is hardly exceptional in this, that a thriving division will support a struggling division in its lean years that is. That's business.

I love this paragraph. I think most of these points have been discussed on this forum extensively. I would not be surprised if the writer stole... aaaahh borrowed most of his ideas from here.

Could be the case, interestingly there are quite a few stories in the press today of a QF and JQ nature, some talking about the Dreamliner while others talking about AJs bad dinner when he was told about the departure of his JQ head.

journalists do have to get their information from somewhere! You know the internet these days, with blogs and forums, journalists do make contact with bloggers and posters on forums and actually ask for their opinion specifically for articles.
