Who is going to the Qantas AGM in 2023?

[AustraliaPoochie]

Chaps like us have to support other chaps like us. I would bet that the directors of major institutions are members of the same clubs etc as those of Qantas. A sacrificial lamb may be offered up - with a big pay-out - but business will continue as normal.

They have already gotten rid of the "you know who".

Any way for a random to walk in and watch this? Happens that I’m right there in the area that day with a free hour or two and figure it’s going to be entertaining.

After what happened to AJ in Perth, it likely that now adays, they will want to vet attendees.
Probably need proof of id too.

Add long as it's not Stephen Mayne.

I don't get the hate?

No hate - I think he's just a self-important pest.

 

[AustraliaPoochie]

Didn't know who Mr Mayne is but have heard of Crikey website.
Activist shareholder, says AFR.
Maybe he (Mr Mayne) feels its his right as shareholder to cause ruckus, and heckle or speak up at AGMs.
Most shareholders go for the free grub, but these days, they don't give out a lot of food anymore, so maybe we need someone like Mr Mayne argueing his case.
Going to hide in my dogbox under my doona now.

I've only know him from his podcast with Alan Kohler and it does seem he's always sticking up for the mum and dad shareholders and asking pertinent questions

 

[AustraliaPoochie]

Off Topic: if I don't want to have my few QF shares bought off from me, ie, their 2023 buyback, does any one know if they can do that this time round?
The last time, they put the shares as "compulsory acquisition", which would have been a few years back now.
On Topic.

 

[oz_mark]

They're just an on market buyer, buying from whoever sells. Nothing compulsory.

 

[AustraliaPoochie]

Thanks Oz_mark.

*Its Unmarketable parcel sharebuy back*.
Its called, ok, so for once this is not the case with the 2023 Qantas share buyback.

They may do that again, but it's not what they are doing at the moment.

Todd Samson, who is the on the QF board, is the youngest one there.
All the others are older.
Not that its very/so important, but maybe that is why a lot of the decisions are not suitable/not considered suitable.
Not a representative age range of the Aust travelling population.
Maybe they should have a more representative of the younger generation.

Any questions to the board:
Why does your board not have people of the younger generation.
53 vs 69/70...

Could anyone going please remind them that it is about time we had another DSC offer?

Probably is representative of the punters that make them all their money & who subsidise the Aust travelling population … ie. those who pay for J & F.
Premium fares pay for the ability to carry all that squished-in cattle around.

Oh, Poochie

 

[AustraliaPoochie]

Pertinent Q, tho, probably a way to make a "pest" of yourself at the AGM

 

[tdimdad]

All the talk has been about the flyers bringing the revenue but how big is the actual contribution of commercial passenger income compared to the total revenue? Given that the FF program might bring a considerable amount and QF also carries freight, how significant are the flying public to the income, after all?

how big is the actual contribution of commercial passenger income compared to the total revenue

I'm not sure this forum would like the answer. Given loyalty is their most profitable division, I'd say it's the punters who spend way too much acquiring points and burn them on toasters.

Is “profitable” in total turnover, or per-minion?
’Cos they prolly have 12 minions running the whole points-scheme thingy, but I could see a handful of flights being Surprise! massively huge money-earners if they just happened to have tail-winds and need 5-digits-dollars less fuel than expected.

True, but that may be only to be undone by the next flight where they get late clearance to take off and bust a ton of connections and have to put a bunch of people up in hotels overnight and shuffle deck chairs for the next day.

If you could win every time, that would be one very profitable airline.

That's where my headspace was, as well. The commercial passenger ticket revenue might be a small(er) part of the total group revenue and especially profit. While there's been a lot of noise in public about the punters and their flight credits, lost luggage, etc, how important is that financially to the Qantas Group? Sure, it's embarrassing, poor business and image, and some of their actions been more or less illegal, but there must be plenty of calculated risk in the mix. Whether it's risk management gone wrong is perhaps one of the questions for the shareholders and possibly even to be raised at the AGM or the Board.
