an interestesting post on Qantas's Facebook page from someone
Joanne (protected) Well? Again, i can tell you guys that i'm working in some hotel in Sydney and my dad own a hotel in Melbourne, we got all book out cause Qantas book all of our rooms in the last months for this few days you guys will believe like a switch? Wake up people. Be more realistic on what you believe from the media and from what people want to say. All this interviews from passengers and things like that are been screen so we can believe them and see the worse of whats happening. Thats the power of Media.
If that's true, certainly the management were in charge of some material information that may affect the share price and as such should've called a trading halt immediately.
