Interesting to see that QF's top 4 shareholders are all banking type businesses and they still charge too much for there CC surcharge.

There surcharge is more than mine for my business and my TO is not even a percentage point of there's.

They are banks, I'd be surprised if some of them even realise what QF do, its "just another investment" mostly..

(ok before anyone responds, yes I do realise they know *actually* will know a lot!)

The sort of dollars that would be put in to the investment I would say that some people on the QF board would have discussions with them every now and then.

Or at least a QF manager would have a chat and maybe a few Xmas drinks.

Majority are custodians holding on behalf of others.

Further according to the site, the top 4 shareholders have 70% of the shares.

So if you think a shareholder revolt is in order, I'd be thinking that anyone on this list be on your target list. That or better start some major praying, voodoo chants or weird deity dancing to bring rightful, swift and painful retribution (preferably of the physical or fatal kind) to the smart alecks controlling those companies who think that the current Qantas board is doing a swell job. You may also want to pray for a similar penalty upon Alan Joyce. (Now where was that person that was trying to kill him in the first place? He might be useful...)

I think you will find the revolt has started already, there is one entity that now has over 10% thats not on your list, while there are 300 pages of transactions listing why BT and WBC and around 10 of their entities are not longer substantial shareholders.
