Singapore Airlines secret agenda???????
It's no secret. It's business, and they are open about it.
Where was talk of Aussies losing jobs when Ansett was on the edge?
Remember Dikko telling Anderson that QF was in more danger of going under? They both agreed and then went to ANZ to see about a merger or what ever while Ansett went over the egde.
All smoke and mirrors.
Wasn't a problem for QF when Jetstar went to Singapore and then soon to be everywhere else in Asia. Bitching about not getting routes into other countries and now bitching that someone else wants to take AVAILABLE routes out of Aust.
Short answer for QF. Buy more planes, take the routes and fly 'em at a profit or a loss , or, let someone else do it. It is called competetion.
You can't say," don't let anyone else into OUR market" claiming that you are looking after Aussies, while you are trying to get into other peoples markets . What about their "flag" carriers and it's employees?
By the way I think that QF actually treats Aussies like Sh1t when it comes to service. Couldn't hope to compare with SIA or Emirates.
This more competetive tax regime is cr.p. A level playing field is service and price. Then let the passengers vote with their feet.
If QF get more competetion, they will have to lift their game or they will lose. That means "fat arse." attendants who care about the passenger and not screwing people on the price of a ticket.
I reckon that Dixon ought to try for Canberra next. Better sprooker ( is that how it's spelt?) that Costello and anyone in Labour.
