Ampclamp, it is impossible to seperate Govt. and Airlines. If this country goes down hill, it has always been the airlines that first show thats things are not travelling well. I admire your optimism, but hell will freeze over before the major parties will agree on anything, much less what to do with the loony left. I and most of you, in my opinion, have every reason to be concerned about what is happening to this country, and what we are going to leave in debt to our children and grandchildren. Anyway, time for the most important thing of all, The Boxing Day Test. At least we might get a win there!
