oicur12 Ahhh, mate, hate to burst your bubble but ...... Qantas was a private company whose shares were all purchased by the Federal Government after World War 2. It regularly made a profit and paid a dividend to the Government. Qantas was not a Government run airline, had it's own board and staff were not public servants but employees of Qantas Empire Airways Ltd. It's a much bigger airline since privatisation and the takeover of Qantas by Australian Airlines
and at times I'm not so sure that being "run as a business" has been a good thing in light of the Global Financial Crisis and its associated Corporate Greed, make that organised sanctioned theft. If you'd like anymore info than please feel free to ask.
