And if QF was a Melbourne based company all would be great with the world, eh Sunfish.
Funny lot we Australians.
A company makes a record profit in difficult circumstances, not to mention a very competitive environment and we continue to slag them.
Just remember this company does employ over 36,000 Australians directly - indirectly you can more than treble that figure.
Yes it is an international organisation and they do employ some staff offshore as do all international companies.
Perhaps we would prefer to see them losing money hand over fist and retrenching tens of thousands of employees by downsizing?
Just look at the US airlines for an example and even worse how their pension plans have been slashed in most cases.
No wonder they have 60 something Flt Attendants!
Make up your feeble minds people which you would prefer to see.
It makes me laugh how some Australians would prefer our profits and Australian jobs go offshore by giving everything unfarely to foreign companies just in the name of competition.
In this case Singapore wants something but wont give the same rights to our own carrier.
In my book to condone this behaviour is called treason, not fair competition and degrades our standard of living.
Damned if they do and damned if they dont.
