Throw Qantas to the wolves. I'm sick of capacity constraints to protect an "Australian" airline that doesn't seem to want to employ Australians, just bleed them of cash.
Memo to Qantas Management: No one wants to fly on your scummy airline anymore. We will do everything we can to avoid having to fly with you, but since you have a stranglehold on capacity, sometimes we can't avoid you, in which case the simplest method is to board blind drunk and try to sleep through the flight.
As for Qantas staff, I'm sorry for you.
