They don't have any choice but to fly Qantas because all the other carriers flights are full, and Qantas refuses to let them increase their capacity
This is of course total cow manure. Qantas has nothing to do with the allocation of capacity, domestically or internationally. Anyone can put on domestic capacity provided they have an AOC, the equipment and resources. Constraints on domestic capacity went out the door with the demise of the pernicious Two Airline Policy.
Internationally, capacity to and from Australia is regulated by the Australian Government, of which Qantas is not part. If Qantas is able to influence Govt policy to its benefit, then so be it. Make no mistake, those advocating 'open skies' are doing so on account of their self-interest, nothing more, nothing less.
Sunfish - you mar your good points made by you unmitigated and blind hatred of all things Qantas. Time to change your glasses and take in an alternative but valid view!!
