Private Equity owners could fillet the Flying Kangaroo ..............any significant ownership change must be subject to a strict national interest test.

And no one has more interest in the future of Qantas than those who work for it.

Trick is; Can Qantas Employees with 26% ownership and Foreign P.E. Owners with 49% ownership agree plans that will Keep Qantas Australian?

Personally I think they can. A business plan based primarily on fleet renewal, job security, and a wage freeze is probably enough to pull together a strategy that Australia will support.

If you work for Qantas and like the idea of:

· Taking a financial stake in your employer,
· Truly participating in the Company you work for, and
· Protecting Australian based jobs.

Suggest you tell your Manager & your Union to - 'Go for It'.
