If you had 5 minutes with the incoming Qantas CEO, what would you say to him?

Oh my question.
When is Qantas, NOT Jetstar!!!, going to do something really serious in NZ and compete with NZ? The TT product will now be so inferior, that if I lost WP status or access to the Flounge I will not be taking QF and never JQ.
Domestic is tolerable but TT the value proposition is not there.

I also can't believe JQ will enter the NZ market. If they start replacing the regular QF sectors in NZ with JQ methinks they will be done for.
If it weren't for the ungodly times of the AKL-SYD sector, LA would be a better choice for TT in the OW alliance. Haven't tried NZ product so got no judgement or experience.

It doesn't need to be the same standard as PER-East Coast, since it isn't as long!

Bugger you beat me to it!
What is interesting is that when I travel to Australia for my work I represent NZ in an organization whose members represent their respective Australian states and territories, so yes effectively a seventh state.
Oh even more ironic was when it came to naming the organization, the NZers one represneting Qld and the other NZ, did not care if NZ was mentioned in the name but all the Australians, myself included, insisted that it was included.
