I read in this and other QF threads from a few posters (especially TG) who speak of QF being the "National Carrier" What does this term mean, I dont think it has any relavance now that the Government is not propping the airline up any more. I believe QF is now just another carrier and has lost its status a "National Carrier". TG and others are living in the past glories of QF and those times are never coming back, you can never recreate the past.
