Elektra is correct.
I was in Australia 3 years ago. Worked for a corporation owned by the commonwealth government.
The scenario there was simple. The General Manager attended a meeting. Asked all those in attendance their preferred carrier for australian travel.
The majority chose quantas, as per the reasons described by elektra, and the issue was closed.
Ridiculous from a taxpayers perspective. Me personally, would rather have an early morning flight with a view of the young
VB girls with all those smiles. I'll leave it for others to catch the QF services with all those expired use by date types they cant get rid of.
