Sunfish , you need help.
Where does you’re resentment come from?
Upset that the Chairmans Lounge wont recognise your petty bourgeoisie status?
Cant get an upgrade?
Meanwhile there are much bigger issues at stake. The privatisation of the CBA , Telstra and Qantas were ideologically based decisions by the Hawke Government from 1991. The quid pro quo for the average punter was low wage grow compensated by increases in the social wage. Plus the promise of a growing economy and cheaper services. And cheap airfares.
Now its coming unstuck.
We have been riding the tiger.
Nowhere else in the world would you expect to have two premium carriers and two low cost carriers at each other’s throats in a market of 25 million.
It always was delusional. Its no coincidence that Virgin dumped Tiger as soon as it could.
Governments all over the world will be re-evaluating privatisation and globalisation.
This is a once in a hundred year event.
Sorry Sunfish , howl at the moon all you like . Your day is done.
