The head start that Qantas had as Australia's own airline was invaluable, yet that advantage has been squandered and the reputation of the brand trashed by incompetence.
Absolutely. The spirit of Australia, and "I still call Australia Home" seems to be replaced with you're the reason we fly.......
I think the former held greater sentiment with most Aussies, however that was allowed to wither and die a little while ago.
We need a patriotic airline back if we wish to grab the Aussie market.
