FJ,
it seems that you are the one in need of a reality check.
QF at present are making RECORD profits.
Your blah, blah, blah,low cost carriers,blah blah blah,rant ignores the fact that the international side of QFs operation is next to immune from the threat of the Ryan air, Easyjet model.
People will and DO pay for comfort and service when traveling LONGHAUL. Inseat videos, food,wine,space and comfort............
It is next to impossible to buy a J/C seat with QF on the Kangaroo route at the moment such is the demand.
The FAAAs battle is to do with maintaining Australian jobs, in Australia for the benefit of ALL Australians.
Lesley Grant was in no small way responsible for nearly destroying Air NZ.
The last thing QF need at this point is a nasty dose of industrial strife brought about by an attack on the conditions of its front line staff.
Qantas, the worlds greediest airline.
