Just a clarification - the DJ flight to Phuket was a Federal Government charter flight where they were well compensated at taxpayer expense wheras the Qantas relief flights to/from the Bali bombings and the returning of AN pax to their home ports following the sad demise of Ansett was done at company (ie shareholder) expense. When the chips are down, Qantas has always responded and even though they have been a private company for over a decade they still feel a sense of responsibility to the Australian public.
