Default QF Frequent Flyers - Don't believe Dixon and Jackson

Funny how both G. Dixon (Qantas CEO) and M. Jackson (Qantas Chairwoman) are
going out of their way to assure us that
it is "business as usual" as far as their Frequent Flyer program is
concerned. Note the statements are that loose they could be interpreted as
anything; and in any case they will have no say in what the Macquarie Bank
directs them to do.

I'd believe both of them,

Geoff, because he's donating his bonus to charity & Marge because she had a
tear in her eye when XBA touched down today.......

Miss Jackson is the Chairman of Qantas, not a Chairwoman.

Whilst ever they are directors, they have every right to
determine the details of the FF plan. The owners can only unseat
them, not proscribe management detail.

Sigh. Sometimes I don't know why I bother. 'Prescribe' and 'proscribe' are
*different* words.



Indeed they are. And "prescribe" was the correct one in this case.
"Proscribe" makes no sense in the context of your sentence.
