It is interesting to note the total investment return from
VB shares over the past 12 months is 132.8%; whereas QF is 17.6%.
In fact the QF total average annual return per annum over the last 10 years has been a paltry 4.8%. After allowing for inflation and taxation on the dividends beyond the franking credits you would be in a loss situation.
During the last 10 years QF International has surrenderd significant loss of market share and resultant Australian jobs to competing carriers.
