Restructuring costs and write-downs have prompted Qantas to post a loss of $A2.84bn for the 2013-14 financial year. The national carrier’s underlying loss of $A646m compares with forecasts of a $A750m loss. Linda White of the Australian Services Union says CEO Alan Joyce and Qantas directors should step down as a result of the airline’s record loss. Joyce is upbeat about the outlook for Qantas, which has forecast an underlying profit for the first half of 2014-15
