Having just flown out of Australia, with a full 777, I will put this forward. What if one of the ME airlines bought Qantas? I had a long talk to one of our passengers in First, he was flying with the wife and 2 kids (all in F), was a QF high mile FF but no longer uses them, because of the poor connections into Europe QF (read LHR centric) they offer, and they wont consider the Jetstar option at all. Qantas needs to get back to what Qantas used to do...and fly to some places ISO hoping everyone loves Jetstar..or just give up, and although I have never worked for them, I feel that Qantas just "giving up" would be just unbelievable, I am worried that is what is going to happen
