VB and Emirates "
attack" Qantas?
I would have thought that their objective is to compete with Qantas and attract more customers, but then again, large sections of the aviation and media community regard any effort to compete with Qantas by providing something better as somehow an "attack" on their dear old flying dinosaur.
This is no longer the 60's. You can dream about the "Fading blue denim" route to London all you like.
