So, let me guess.
All of a sudden there will be a course relating to flight planning in the Aviation courses at Syd Uni.
All the good ideas will get funneled to QF to help THEM build a new planning system.
Who pays for all these great ideas on how to save money for the RAT?
YOU DO!!! Thats right, YOU pay for the honour of helping QF save money.
Corporate Australia at its best.
That's pretty much how the Yankee Corporations fund the Yank Universities to do research...throw some corporate money for research to the uni's and reap any benefits.
Why should we argue with the tried and proven methods?
Apart from the fact that this instance involves the questionable management of QF, in general, it would be a very good thing for more Australian Corporations to fund research at uni's.
