An Australian schoolboy with dreams of setting up his own airline wrote a letter to Qantas' CEO asking for advice -- and he replied
An Australian schoolboy with dreams of setting up his own airline has penned a letter to Qantas CEO Alan Joyce asking for advice.
"I have already started some stuff like what type of planes I'll need, flight numbers, catering and more," writes Jacquot in the letter, which has since gone viral on social media. But the budding entrepreneur says he's keen to get a few specific pieces of advice from Joyce while he's on school holidays and has time to work on his new airline.
In his response, Joyce writes he normally doesn't give advice to competitors but will make an exception as he too was"once a young boy who was so curious about flight and all its possibilities."
