Getting on the front foot with bad news. ABC News Online's digest of the media blitz by Qantas boss Alan Joyce.

There are a few sayings in the world of issues and crisis management that apply to the media strategy being used by Qantas at the moment.

Chief executive Alan Joyce has been virtually unstoppable since the controversial announcement about his airline's survival hit the Australian Securities Exchange almost 24 hours ago.

The softly spoken Irishman must be close to losing his voice by now.
