U2 - and NOW I have ALL 3, plus a bit extra!
I also remember the posts here on
PPRuNe from the overworked QF groundies who were bombarded with terminal fulls of abusive, p!ssed-off Ansett pax, when Ansett fell over.

allowed QANTAS to make those extraordinary profits.
Nice scenario,
Pimp Daddy, "

Sort of similar to claiming you're the "
World's Best Pilot" for landing early, and saving half a ton of fuel, when in fact you had a 200kt tailwind up your clacker, isn't it!
