A Better Farewell
With all the Australians stuck overseas and trying to get back, would it not have been more of a farewell flight if a 747 did a flight or two to Sth America up the west coast to the USA and Canada and back to Oz picking up Aussies as it went along as a gesture of goodwill to all the Australians who have supported Qantas over the years instead of jollies around Oz.
QF could have done the same through Asia and Europe.
How come other airlines are flying pax into Oz while our "national airline" has canned all international flights?
