That is one view. BUT all the airlines that are eating into Qantas' profits/market share are all national airlines/flag carriers owned or part owned by Governments
Very true, but we are the ones who espouse the virtue of capitalism etc. Do we become like them? Virgin doesn't seem to bee doing to badly without being government owned.

There is I believe after the GFC a ground swell of contempt for the way some Corporations behave and attempt to manipulate information for their own ends.
Maybe in a lot of things, don't know about the QANTAS dispute though. Think there last straw poll I saw showed 56% supported Joyces actions and another 4% didn't know. It will be interesting if any of the professional pollsters have done any polling to see what they get.
