No doubt many Pruners appreciate your efforts to put some sparkle into Christmas Leafy - Thank you!
Personally, I am optimistic about what globalised consolidation can do for the Qantas and Virgin Groups but it already seems that apparent negativity around analysts predict & growth synergies suggests that convincing certain interests that unless airlines, employees, unions and government all help facilitate necessary change and acceptance thereof, that Australian airlines, and all those who earn their living off them, will be left to die on the vine while the likes of Delta and KLM/AF suck the life blood out of our battling Aussie airlines while BA and Qantas Execs decide whether or not, a Kangaroo with a Crown & a Staff is good enough to replace the union jack and the flying kangaroo on their respective aeroplanes.
Hope I am wrong.
