All the dramas at QF wouldnt be happening if the Govt kept control of this industry
You are so right: Soviet Union, Bulgaria, Romania, Albania, East Germany all had state owned airlines and they would be a perfect model for a government run QANTAS. Oh I nearly forgot Alitalia.
Those parliamentarians have just got to be the best people to decide on operational and commercial matters.
Bring back part fare regulation and end this ridiculous discounting, it is unsustainable
.
Right on: $900 for the bus and 56 hours gotta be reasonable to pay at least what $1500 for a 3 1/2 hour flight. Hell if there is only QANTAS charge what you like!!
Hell lets go the whole hog only: one car manufacturer, the Trabant brand is still available I believe. One brand of electronics goods, one type of washing powder, one type of beer! etc etc. Hells bells, its obvious now; competition never did the consumer any good! History proves without a doubt, monopolies provide the best service and government run monpolies are historically just awesome! Well regulated competition, that just sucks!!
