gobbledock,
As great as that sounds, the Roo will be in the stew for a long time, IF it ever gets out of it. The announcements last week of "restructuring" accelerated the downsizing of QANTAS mainline, particularly the international arm. With international routes being eroded and aircraft numbers diminishing, it won't be long before QANTAS is just a name, being presided over by a few people, namely the dirty dozen, that suck it dry.
As each aircraft leaves these shores for the last time, that's another nail in the coffin for QANTAS as we know it.
