Qantas won’t say how it selects the people it gives membership to and nor will it say how many members there are.
It is a fair bet, that most of the judges, politicians, regulators and overseers of the Corporate wasteland formerly known as egalitarian Australia are in it.
Get them all involved and nobody says a thing..A rather small club of "influence" soft corruption Australian style.
Before being involved in any litigation against Qantas, it might be wise to ask the presiding judge whether or not he/she is a member..
So how much does this generosity cost Qantas shareholders? It’s impossible to say because — in yet another indication of the operation’s secrecy — the Chairman’s Lounge doesn’t get a mention in the Qantas annual report.Qantas says the cost of running the lounge is “commercial in confidence”, an indication on how important the airline sees the lounges to building and maintaining its business.
