Not just QR, there were plenty of foreign carriers funded with Australian taxpayer handouts to operate pax and cargo flights and some of those carriers were fully foreign state backed as well.
But as usual QF cops it all. I see the media have made a mountain of how some washed up AFL “star” had a sook on TV about his flight being pushed back a few hours, as if it was the end of the world and from now on he’s only flying VA despite QF having a much better OTP (71% vs 59%) and lower cancellation rate (3.8% to 5.6%) than VA in the latest BITRE stats. And I believe Spud Dutton had to throw the boot in as well this morning.
Just the typical pile on.
