That last slide is good. Tell me that's not infinitely more useful than a single company wide figure.
Depends on the point being made, as we've agreed beforehand but yes, there is some good data there. Yet in prior presentations over a number of years at least, Qantas apparently did feel that a single fleet-wide figure was a useful thing to present. As they say - go figure.
So I did. I figure that when the fleet is overall relatively 'young' (say 7-8 years) the company was happy to present that figure and show the virtues of it "maintaining a young, fuel efficient fleet". But when that figure rises to the present level - several points above 10 - the metric becomes publicly unimportant. With Qantas' present emphasis on being 'green' and all that, some would find the absence of a "young, fuel efficient fleet" a bit surprising.
