Brett was his usual expressive self...he tells it as he sees it, so there were a couple of expletives not "bleeped", but none were aimed at QF. In fact, he believed that QF management were very good but believes that Jetstar model will reshape the QF model in some way (particularly his belief that driving the QF model back into the Jetstar costing structure may be one of the important structural changes that that QF are doing - after all DJ only have 3 unions, QF have around 13).
Look out for their announcement that they made to the market after 10am about pax numbers for October or November presumably(now that it is public knowledge, I can release my embargo)</font>
Very interesting. I won't be surprised if Qantas use Jetstar as a means of simplifying their mainline operations and 'streamline' their relationship with the unions. I would too if I was in their position.
I'm pleased to see that Mr Godfrey has some respect for the competition's management - he certainly doesn't show it publicly. I have no problems with a company promoting themselves but I dislike it when they try and belittle their competitors. And don't get me started on the whining when things don't go your way (if DJ want more govt business, schedule CBR-SYD and CBR-MEL flights at appropriate times and offer more than 2 services per day!).
