Good to hear a review of incompetent management practices and poor fleet purchasing decisions over the last 10 years which has largely contributed towards such challenges has been undertaken.

Sorry, couldn't help myself! :-|

It says a stronger Qantas not a better qantas. Given the focus on financial performance I suggest the implication is stronger financial performance.
