So what idiot who obviously knows nothing about airlines came up with these ridiculous ideas ?
Tony Webber was Qantas Group chief economist between 2004 and 2011.
He is now managing director of Webber Quantitative Consulting and Associate Professor at the University of Sydney Business School.

Maybe he does know a thing or two about airline finances !!
Associate Professor Webber was also drumming up air time on all the channels recently trying to sell the philopohsy of fat passengers paying more for their seats.
One wonders why he left Qantas with gems like that one!
'Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach' comes to mind.
