New Qantas CFO

[dajop]

The airline business is so volatile...

Yep, and even moreso when you consider that a 50% profit reduction is probably, by global standards a good outcome. Many airlines in some parts of the world would be very happy with this, compared what they are facing.

Peter I think will slot very nicely into a role somewhere in the BIG end of town...I think even smiley faced suggections of Virgin Blue would be considered a backward step to the role he is leaving..a mate mentioned a major construction company is keen but I'm sure he will get the chance to choose...and dont feel too sorry I remember checking the ASX site one day in the company announcements to see he had offloaded a bucket load of shares when they hit $6
good luck to him..also hear from Friends inside QF that his replacement is very highly thought of ...so steady as she goes from the purse strings dept.

Personally I'd be surprised if he ended up as CFO elsewhere... I think more likely he will be going for a CEO role.
