Can Qantas afford to buy all the new aircraft it needs?
Feb 15, 2018, 06:04 PMMaybe Alan could take a pay cut to help with Qantas' reinvestment. I wouldn't mind doubling my income in a year! (From a miserable roughly $12m to $24m!)

What's next for Virgin Australia internationally?
Jun 04, 2018, 06:09 PMThey probably need to be more strategic with fewer alliances that work better for both the airline and frequent flyers alike.
