Ken B:
That, Sunfish, is what many think when you start and harp irrationally about QF's route structure etc.
Kenny baby; I have news for you; it's not just me harping about your route structure.
My concerns were and are grounded in the economic fact that direct international air links are a critical consideration in attracting international business investment into cities and states, and that Qantas, both before and after privatization was hopelessly biased towards a Sydney - centric network paradigm, to the detriment of Brisbane and Melbourne.
As for ASK's, fuel loads, revenue and yield etc, etc. I know not, and you won't hear me carping about those issues.
