Seriously Ken, what does the entity that is Qantas embody to you?
Actually I'd be quite interested to know that too. I'm often flabbergasted at some of his comments and assertions.
I work for a far smaller company in another country but have in the past flown Qantas (never in my life have I ever or will ever pay my own money to fly JetStar). I have completely given up on Qantas because I am so disappointed in what the airline is becoming and the reality of the offering doesn't live up to the message of the brand that they are pushing.
From a passenger perspective and someone who is willing to pay for good service it is sad to see what Qantas is becoming. And I know that I am certainly not the only customer who feels like that. I represent a section of Qantas' market that they are wantonly throwing away.
I will never buy into the ridiculous justifications for the current and future state of affairs under their current management.
I truly hope things change for the better as both self-loading freight and a pilot.
