What a happy chap you are AnQraKa. The world cannot possibly unravel, not after our esteemed PM has tied herself and us to the EU economy with her brainsnap over the carbon tax. As for the new ship, if it is going to be based here, and JQ has the guensey at the moment, then it is reasonable to expect it to be crewed by both Australian pilots and CC. As for QF, it is already struggling long haul, but like our esteemed PM, Mr Joyce has possibly found the answer by handing over the whole box and dice to the Arabs. So at the present time we downunder find ourselved hitched to a EU economy that is failing and our National Carrier at risk at being run by Sheiks, so perhaps your right to feel a little down if you are a expat.
