National Carrier

Stallboy says: Let us hope with Jeff gone some smart decisions will be made, it really would be sad to see Australia with so many people flying overseas every day without a national carrier!!!
That's a really interesting point Stallboy . . . just what does the title National Carrier mean in the case of QF? Is it an officiall status designated from the Federal Government or an accident of history? And what would it take for the mantle of National Carrier to change to another airline?

More precisely to your point . . . why will it be "sad to see Australia with so many people flying overseas every day without a national carrier"?

Just idle curiosity really.

Cheers
