It's finally here – the biggest change to Qantas' domestic fleet in decades. The new A321XLR has joined the national carrier with its first commercial flight, and with 48 on order to replace the ageing 737-800s, it's the most ambitious phase yet in the airline's massive fleet renewal program. With a wider body, more fuel-efficient engines, and a slew of other changes, the A321XLR is a massive leap for the Flying Kangaroo – but does it live up to the hype, and what's being done about the delicate issue of the toilets? On this week's podcast, Jake has a full trip report of the inaugural flight of the Qantas A321XLR, and he and David discuss what it will do for the airline both domestically and internationally. Plus, Qantas looks to improve its battered reputation by making it a condition of CEO Vanessa Hudson's bonuses: will it work, or is it just a PR stunt?

TECH STUFFCalifornia's Gavin Newsom Signs Major AI Safety LawThe Transparency in Frontier Artificial Intelligence Act, or S.B. 53, requires the most advanced A.I. companies to report safety protocols used in building their technologies and forces the companies to report the greatest risks posed by their technologies.The bill also strengthens whistle-blower protections for employees who warn the public about potential dangers the technology poses.Could a chatbot replace your best friend at work?According to a new study from KPMG that surveyed more than 1,000 professionals, almost all (99%) would be open to the idea of an AI chatbot assuming the role of close friend or trusted companion at work.That same study teases out a separate, also compelling thread: 45% of workers reported feelings of loneliness at work.Elon Musk hit by exodus of senior staff over burnout and politicsKey members of Tesla's US sales team, battery and power-train operations, public affairs arm, and its chief information officer have all recently departed, as well as core members of the Optimus robot and AI teams on which Musk has bet the future of the company.CLIMATE STUFFEU Reduces GHG Emissions 37%The EU adopted a Climate Law in 2021, setting into legislation a goal to reach climate neutrality by 2050. In addition to the 2050 goal, the law also set a binding EU climate goal to reduce net GHG by at least 55% by 2030 compared to 1990.More recently, the EU has committed to set a new 2035 GHG emissions reduction goal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by between 66.25% to 72.5%, and the European Commission has proposed a new target, currently being debated by lawmakers, to reduce emissions by 90% by 2040.The new report indicated strong progress towards the EU's interim climate goal, with GHG emissions falling by 37% since 1990, despite 60% GDP growth over the same period, and with the pace of annual emissions reductions in the EU doubling since 2005.The report cites significant shifts in the energy mix in Europe as a key source of the EU's emission reduction progress, with the share of renewable energy sources doubling since 2005, and almost a quarter of final energy use in 2023 coming from renewable sources, 45% of all electricity used in the EU now generated by renewables, while fossil fuel use, and coal in particular, has declined.Maine wins early victory in climate lawsuit against oil companiesA federal judge has sided with the state of Maine in its effort to force oil and gas companies to pay for the costs of dealing with climate change.Judge Nancy Torresen of the U.S. District Court for the District of Maine on Monday granted the state's motion to transfer its case against 14 fossil fuel companies out of federal court and back to the state court where it was originally filed.She also granted Maine's request to recover costs and fees.Trump's hostile attitude is making investors more favourable to ESGInstead of seeing a continued decline in sentiment towards ESG, there were more favourable signals this year, especially from younger investors and parents. In fact, some said President Donald Trump‘s hostile attitude to ESG has actually made 20% of private investors more positive about funds. Only 8% of investors said they were now less favourable to ESG as a result of Trump's approach.Overall, 53% of respondents said they now take ESG factors into account when investing, up from 48% last year. STAKEHOLDER STUFFStarbucks is offering up to 26 weeks of severance for store managers at closing cafésAccording to the document titled "Severance Summary," shift managers are eligible to receive 120 hours of their hourly pay.Assistant store managers will get "240 hours + 40 hours for each year of completed service (up to combined total weeks of 1,040 hours)," the document states.Coffeehouse leaders will receive at least six weeks of pay, plus additional amounts based on job level and years working for the company. For example, overtime exempt coffeehouse leaders will get eight weeks' base severance, plus one week for every completed year of service, up to a maximum of 26 weeks.GOVERNANCE STUFFHow good is this at telling the CEO Pay story?

Wall Street closed lower on Friday as investor fears of a slowing economy rose after key U.S. non-farm payrolls data came in much weaker than expected. The Dow lost 0.5%, the Nasdaq declined 0.03% and the S&P 500 ended the day down 0.32%.For the month of August nonfarm payrolls increased by only 22,000 jobs, significantly lower than the 75,000 jobs economists were expecting to be added. U.S. unemployment rate also rose to 4.3% for the month, up from 4.2% signalling a weakening labour market.While a rate cut out of the Fed is almost certain now, investors are more concerned over the long-term impact of a slowing economy, and fears of a recession continue to rise.In Europe on Friday markets closed lower as investors in the region also assessed the weakening economic condition of the U.S. following a weaker than expected jobs reading out on Friday. The STOXX 600 fell 0.2%, Germany's DAX lost 0.73%, the French CAC declined 0.31%, and in the UK, the FTSE100 ended the day down 0.09%.Across the Asia region on Friday markets closed mostly higher after President Trump formalised lower tariffs on Japanese auto tariffs with a baseline tariff of 15% across all Japanese imports. Japan's Nikkei rose 1.03%, Hong Kong's Hang Seng gained 0.71% and South Korea's Kospi index added 0.13%.Locally on Friday the ASX200 posted a 0.51% rise on Friday as real estate and discretionary stocks rose 1.37% and 1.33% respectively.Gold stocks gained further ground on Friday amid the record price of the precious commodity as investors once again flocked to safe-haven assets in the wake of further global uncertainty.Qantas (ASX:QAN) shares rose 1.5% on Friday on news that chief executive Vanessa Hudson's bonus would be docked over the airline's recent cybersecurity breach, while Orica shares added over 1% after the company signalled positive momentum is driving higher underlying earnings across its business for H2 ending September 30. What to watch today:On the commodities front this morning oil is trading 2.38% lower at US$61.97/barrel, gold is up 1.3% at US$3592.50/ounce, and iron ore is down 0.04% at US$104.49/tonne.The Aussie dollar has strengthened against the greenback to buy 65.57 U.S. cents, 97.10 Japanese yen, 48.53 British pence, and 1 New Zealand dollar and 11 cents.Ahead of the first session of the new trading week the SPI futures are anticipating the market will open the day down 0.2%.Trading ideas:Bell Potter has increased the rating on Technology One (ASX:TNE) from a sell to a hold and have maintained the 12-month price target on the company at $35.75/share, amid changes in forecasting for the company with Bell Potter's analyst and the market anticipating a beat in November. At a stock specific level, we do not see much risk of any disappointment or negative catalyst and, as mentioned, we already expect the company to exceed its guidance when it reports in November.And Bell Potter has also reduced the rating on Curvebeam AI (ASX:CVB) from a spec buy to a hold and have a 15cps price target on the company following the release of the company's FY25 results including revenues and gross profit of $12.1m and $6.7m respectively. The reason for the downgrade to a hold comes from lack of guidance, Hi rise device sales continuing to be constrained by the Mako validation matter and the hybrid of capitalised earnings.

It's the book that's sent shockwaves through the aviation world: The Chairman's Lounge: The Inside Story of How Qantas Sold Us Out, a deep dive into the Alan Joyce era and how Qantas went from one of the most trusted brands in the country to one of the least. Covering the decisions made during COVID-19 – including the illegal outsourcing of ground handlers and the controversial “flight credits” scheme – as well as the perception of undue influence on politics, failures in customer service, and other topics, author Joe Aston lays out the case against Joyce in a book that has put a national spotlight on aviation. In this Australian Aviation podcast, Jake Nelson speaks to Aston about the revelations in his book, his verdict on Joyce as a whole, and whether he believes new CEO Vanessa Hudson can right the ship.

Wesfarmers has seen its annual sales jump to more than $44 billion and it's putting a heap of praise on one particular business.

La compagnie australienne Quantas va devoir indemniser des milliers de passagers mécontents. Et on peut comprendre leur colère.En effet, la compagnie admet avoir délibérément trompé les usagers, en leur vendant des sièges sur des vols qui avaient été annulés ou reprogrammés à la hâte. Le scandale de ces "vols fantômes" a provoqué des critiques unanimes, des autorités australiennes en premier lieu.De fait, la commission chargée d'examiner cette affaire a jugé "inacceptable" la conduite de la compagnie. Sa nouvelle directrice, Vanessa Hudson, a d'ailleurs reconnu que les clients, obligés parfois de renoncer à leurs projets de vacances, avaient été laissés à eux-mêmes. Et elle admet que, dans cette circonstance, Quantas n'a pas même respecté ses propres règles.Elle a également admis que de nombreux clients n'avaient pas été prévenus à temps de l'annulation ou de la modification de leur vol. Et elle présente ses excuses pour les désagréments subis. Ce qui ne sera sans doute pas suffisant pour apaiser le ressentiment légitime des passagers.Ce comportement inapproprié a valu à la compagnie aérienne une amende d'un montant notable. Elle devra débourser, en tout, près de 80 millions de dollars, dont 13 millions serviront à indemniser les passagers lésés. Ils seraient environ 86.000 à pouvoir profiter de ce remboursement.Quantas, qui a plus d'un siècle d'existence, est pourtant une véritable institution dans le pays. On l'a même baptisée "l'esprit de l'Australie". Cette nouvelle affaire va cependant porter un coup supplémentaire à un crédit déjà bien entamé.En effet, durant la récente crise sanitaire liée au Covid, la compagnie avait fortement augmenté le prix de ses billets et licencié 1.700 personnes. Ce qui avait provoqué de vives réactions, de la part des usagers comme de celle des syndicats.Des déconvenues qui ne sont sans doute pas étrangères au fléchissement des bénéfices de l'entreprise, en baisse de plus de 13 % au second semestre 2023. Les efforts de Vanessa Hudson, qui avait commencé à redorer le blason de Quantas, sont donc en partie annulés par ce scandale des "vols fantômes". Hébergé par Acast.

A week after Bonza's fleet was abruptly seized in a move that sent shockwaves through the Australian aviation sector, the airline is still yet to get back in the air as its administrator fights to save it.

Adam and Jake discuss whether there's any hope for the purple tails to return to the skies, and examine the conventional wisdom around Bonza's collapse.

This week, new CEO Vanessa Hudson made her first big call as she unwound Qantas' agreement to buy Alliance. That deal, of course, was led by her predecessor, Alan Joyce. Chris, Jake and Adam discuss whether this is the start of a new, more diplomatic era for the Flying Kangaroo.  Plus, Bonza CEO Tim Jordan swaps the airport for the train station as he rages against high airfares. 

A pair of high-profile departures at the Flying Kangaroo is seeing chairman Richard Goyder and Qantas Loyalty CEO Olivia Wirth head for the exits.   But with no firm departure date, is Goyder taking too long to allow for a true renewal at the top of Qantas?   Jake and Chris discuss Goyder's ‘long goodbye' and whether it will hamper new CEO Vanessa Hudson's efforts for a fresh start.   Plus, the Transport Minister emphatically says no to reviewing her Qatar Airways decision, and is there a possible breakthrough in the battle over Brisbane's sky kittens?

It's one week PJ (that's post-Joyce), but Qantas's critics don't seem to be letting up. Whether it's the row over Qatar, frequent flyer points, slots, delays or the Chairman's Lounge, the bad news keeps coming for the Flying Kangaroo. This week, Jake, Chris and Adam discuss the latest revelations and ask how the airline can stem the tide of bad news. Plus, they ask, just where has Vanessa Hudson been?

As interest rates are kept on hold, the latest economic data points towards the presence of a per-capita recession. What comes next, and did the RBA go too hard in the fight against inflation?Meanwhile, Alan Joyce was forced to make an early exit from Qantas amid rising controversies, leaving Vanessa Hudson to rebuild the airline's relationship with employees and customers. Is this an example of the glass ceiling, where female leaders are set up to fail? And international attention continues to surround the internal fight in Spain's Women's World Cup football team, with a criminal complaint now launched in the wake of an unwanted kiss seen around the world.

This week on the podcast, James and Anthony ask what new Qantas boss Vanessa Hudson needs to do to clean up the airline, explain why Australia's per capita recession matters and look ahead to next week's consumer health check.

This episode is a deep dive on the challenges Qantas has been facing. While Qantas is unlike any company we invest in, we believe there are many lessons for our founders and investors to take away. In this episode we discuss:  The challenges all companies face in trying to balance the short term vs the long term, and some examples of this conflict to navigate.  How incentives drive behaviors, and some ideas for founders and investors in designing interlinked goals, KPI's and remuneration systems to ensure healthy outcomes over the long term. The reality that leadership changes often happening in a crisis, and how founders, executives and boards should think about setting the transition up.  A deep dive into an organisational lifecycle model, and compare CEO's and companies like Luke Anear of Safety Culture and Vanessa Hudson of Qantas in terms of the different realities their lifecycle locations will be creating for them.    Lastly, we discuss the challenges of having to navigate a company through a crisis, while also fielding a media firestorm which applies daily pressure on every word, behaviour and decision. We pose some strategies for how companies should operate in this unique situation. As always we'd love to hear from you, and we'd really appreciate if you could leave a quick rating on the podcast. hello@tribeglobal.vc

Episode Notes International travelers will soon no longer need proof of vaccination to enter the U.S. The White House announced this week the vaccine requirement for inbound international flyers will end on May 11, writes Global Tourism Reporter Dawit Habtemariam.  The Biden administration cited the decrease in Covid cases and hospitalizations as a reason for its decision. Habtemariam notes the White House had implemented the vaccine requirements to help slow the spread of the virus. U.S. travel authorities applauded the government's removal of the vaccine mandate, a move that could lead to an increase in international visitors. Next, VisitBritain is the latest tourism board to jump on the artificial intelligence bandwagon. The organization has created a game using AI voice technology for a campaign targeting American tourists, reports Contributor Samantha Shankman.  VisitBritain is using the rapidly emerging technology to play around with regional UK accents as part of its campaign. Prospective visitors are invited to try those accents, which AI scores, and share the results on social media. A VisitBritain executive said the organization created AI speech technology that can judge Americans' impressions of UK accents.  Shankman writes VisitBritain believes the content can push test takers toward booking travel to the UK. Skift examined how generative AI — technology that includes the creation of images, audio and video — could fundamentally alter travel marketing in a 2023 Megatrend.  We end today with a look at Qantas Airways new CEO, Vanessa Hudson. She faces the difficult task of living up to the legacy established by her predecessor, reports Edward Russell, editor of Airline Weekly, a Skift publication.  Hudson, who will take over from longtime CEO Alan Joyce in November, will inherit an airline that has emerged stronger out of the pandemic. Russell writes Joyce turned Qantas into a profitable aviation powerhouse during his 15 years at the helm. The company posted a more than $1 billion operating profit during the first six months of its 2023 fiscal year. Qantas expects a profit for the full fiscal year ending in June. Russell adds that Hudson, Qantas' current chief financial officer, will need to manage the airline's international partnerships. Its joint venture with American Airlines is one of them, which Russell writes grew in importance during the pandemic.

TW: this podcast contains strong language and some fairly graphic details.  An edited selection of speeches recorded at an incredibly inspiring and emotionally powerful protest event held in London outside the Home Office on the 24th of September.  Speakers include Mel, a well-known animal rights activist and hunt saboteur; Dominic Dyer; and Vanessa Hudson of the Animal Welfare Party. Other speakers stepped from the crowd and we don't have their names, but where we do we have used Chapter Markers for clarification.The protest was held to support #FreetheMBRBeagles, the grassroots campaign to free the MBR Beagles from MBR Acres, a Cambridgeshire-based beagle breeding facility which prepares and supplies beagles to be used - and ultimately to die - in testing facilities. The factory puppy farm breeds up to 2000 beagle puppies every year. At 16 weeks old they are sold to contract testing laboratories across the UK for toxicology testing. The breeding facility and those tests are licenced by the Home Office, a government department headed by the home secretary, a post considered one of the Great Offices of State and held since July 2019 by Priti Patel.Off the Leash Podcasts has made this podcast to support the campaign.
