Will be very interesting to see how long we have to wait for announcement that Qantas quits the Darwin international scene and operates Adelaide/Singapore as non-stops. I reckon it will queitly happen and so we will see a further dimunition of a what was once a great airline.
On another note, isn't it interesting to see State Govts/Territories handing out subsidies ('incentives'?) to profitable organisations? How can it be realistically justified?
