I've got a better analogy for you ll. It's maybe more like an inheritance: It sux that someone close to you has died, that can't be denied. But then you get the inheritance, which is beneficial to you.
It's that simple. Twiggs isn't rejoicing in a possible base closure. I don't think anyone wants to see any of the Australian bases close. But if it happens, it doesn't mean there won't be benefits for those of us still around. I agree with a lot of your sentiments, ll, but haven't we learnt that this company doesn't work on morality, they work on maximum profits and "whatever it takes" [ie: whatever it takes
today; tomorrow, it may be different. A*holes]. They don't care who they tread on. It's the same old story: there is no "u" in Qantas.
