roamingwolf...you said "I reckon this basically is about some crew in s/h trying to pay us back for buying them out".
Are you kidding? Hate to burst your bubble mate but no one in SH actually talks about LH. Believe it or not we dont care about what is going on over there. And we certainly dont talk about the Qantas/Australian merger way back in the early '90's.
Apart from myself and maybe a couple of others, no one in SH is even aware of Pprune. Its just a whinging forum for a select group of QF LH crew. The comments of a select dozen of you hardly represents the thousands of LH crew.
You have no idea sunshine.
