Sunshine .. sunfish
Your are a simplistic nerd. The first thing Singapore Telecom did when they took over Optus was cut all the discounting and raise prices. You obviously know nothing what so ever as to how Sing Inc. operate.
They will, if given access, reduce competition and raise fares. They are in it for every cent they can screw out of anyone, it's how Singapore operates. They are loathed and distrusted by most of their neighbours.
As you know so much about SIA start quoting some of the fares where SIA operate in a cosy duopolpy. Until recently and some competition at last arrived, it used to cost more to go Singapore _ Ho Chi Minh return than Singapore Sydney return.
The likes of you won't be happy until the last person with any sort of meaningful job in Oz turns the lights out before leaving.

Just in case you are wondering .... no I don't work for Qantas or any other airline for that matter, I just want some Oz based company or group, albeit a new Oz based airline, to at least try and make Qantas accountable without selling our souls to the devil.
