"Qantas shouldn't be a charity and no one is suggesting it is a charity (but) they're going to announce this review in days. "It's a matter of thinking in the long term rather than the short term." A Qantas spokesman said the airline would not comment on the results or any other announcements it would be making on Thursday. Earlier, Qantas CEO Alan Joyce angered pilots when he said grounding the airline's fleet in October in response to an ongoing industrial campaign had been "positive for the brand". "There was a feeling that somebody needed to stand up to the bullying and what was taking place with the union movement," he told The Australian newspaper.
