WHy would I like to see Qantas disembowelled? Simple! Qantas is Sydney-centric and does not give other Australian cities a fair go in terms of direct international flights.

The result is that Sydney has had a disproportionate share of Australian inbound tourism ever since the 70's .

If Qantaas was gone, then it would be possible for niche players to provide more direct flights to other capital cities.

To put it another way, I'm sick of travelling into Sydney and staying on the ground for three hours while the aircraft is cleaned and maintained. Before I can get to where I'm going.

It is a conspiracy and I was present at a meeting when the conspiracy was exposed.

Qantas can go **** themselves.
