... from all different sources all repeating the same item "Qantas International is a basket case and is losing X millions"
maybegunnadoo,
If you open your mind for a second you may realise, that maybe, just maybe, what they are all saying is actually the truth.
While your mind is open, try looking at this question from a different angle:
How can Qantas International NOT be in big trouble given:
1. The huge decline, and expected continued decline, in their market share;
2. Their significantly greater labour costs as compared to their competitors?
