Nothing turns heads more than wall to wall, block of flats, 747 at 1500ft over the suburbs of Melbourne showing the corporate flag. And the taxpayers are refunding 30 cents in the dollar corporate tax rate. Ripper maaaaaate!
And achieves what? Other than turned heads.
My guess is the effect on sales of QANTAS, achieved by this flyover is a big
ZER0
it probably did a syd-mel in the morning loaded with petrol heads coming down for the day followed by a return to syd late arvo with same petrol heads aboard.
Only if they couldn't get cheaper fares.
After all, isn't THAT why Dixon is trying to screw everyone?
If flying Jumbos over public events is likely to have a marked effect on sales, why not recommend THAT to God, in place of his slash and burn policies.
More than likely though, it's BECAUSE of these obscenely flagrant, unaccountable, and wilful wastes of money, such as today's flyover, that QANTAS is in the position Darth says it is, and why QF staff are being subjected to threats of replacement by cheap o/s labour.
