Look at it this way folks.

Like it or not Qantas being the dominant player on the Sydney-LA route means more jobs for Australians, more jobs for pilots and the money staying in Australia rather than going offshore.

Australian governments over the past 30 years or so have seen fit to sell off our institutions to foreign investors with little regard to the consequences of not only jobs, but eliminating certain industries from this country altogether.

Remember the govt paying sheep farmers $14 to kill sheep a number of years back while importing lamb from NZ?
What about Brazilian oranges and pineapples in our supermarkets - and for the same price!

If it means more jobs to Australians and you want to see foreigners reap the benefits then whine away lads.
