QANTAS says all of its services are operating as normal despite the swine flu outbreak.
"We haven't encountered any episodes of (swine flu), but there are no specific changes to travel arrangements or Qantas services," a spokesman said today.
short sighted, self serving, profit first safety last statement
Does Qantas imply that until they actually is face with an episode/s of (swine flu) before they make any changes? Wouldn't that be a little too late? Taking people's life with a cavalier attitude. What a crock of an airline.
one would suspect the most profitable route to Americas cannot be changed regardless, profit already down 30% in premium classes to Americas and A380 not filling up to the brim with standing room only, so if Qantas started to make changes in this route, then it would really mean the end of Qantas as we know it, it will only be done as the very last resort, such as a documented spread of swine flu on one of their flights, in which case, reputation would have been tarnished already.
