Just understand that QF's profits are a tax on all Australians. If QF had to compete in real dog eat dog competition here, airfares would be way cheaper, and more Australians would have jobs.
Sunfish....

For the first time I could not disagree more with a post from you..

I am in no way a believer of the way QF management operates but...

If Qantas or any Australian business had to compete with an overseas business with cheaper labour and help from their own government it would hardly be a level playing field....cheaper airfrares and goods .....maybe but who would have jobs to buy those things.

If Sunfish had his way we would all be a nation of consumers and nothing would be made or produced in Australia...if that's the case who would have a job?

It was an idea that only Howard could come up with.....there is no such thing as a level playing field.Not all, but a lot of other countries help their own airlines and population and Sunfish would like to throw Qantas out on it's own.
