So what? In a Rex vs QF battle, it’s pretty obvious who is the underdog....

I’ve worked for multiple companies now that deliberately avoid competing with QF because of their anti competitive attitude (on new regional routes in particular). QF spend all day long complaining to the government about various issues as well. All the airlines do it, so I suggest you get over it.

At the end of the day, having QF, VA and Rex running their own networks means more jobs for us pilots. What we should be hoping for is sustainable competition so we can keep those new jobs...
