Was up early this morning and watched the full replay on ABC.

As an outsider I can't believe that International is not profitable. On my only flight recently (so I admit it's not a good sample), the aircraft had 66 J class seats and all were full! Of course they all could have been frequent (sic) flyers from Woolies propping up the company...

The man sure is a purveyor of doom and gloom even with a $550 million profit in uncertain times you would have thought someone had just died.

The one bright light (I thought) was the forcast for growth within Qantas domestic and increasing airframes, that is good news for the guys/gals at the pointy end.

Keep fighting the good fight!

PS: Was that Sunfish who asked one of the questions?
