Agree WirthWhat, is no reason Sporting Bets would pay out on
‘passing the deal as it was'
Yesterday’s decision has reduced the scope of what QF/EK can do and no undoubtedly put off for another day long term strategy underpinning today’s celebrations.
How much credit the ALAEA and Peter Somerville can take is not clear. However, that Qantas can now clip the price of its European tickets, add capacity in Asia and continue to rely on the Sale Act to protect its future interest in any QF/EK Joint Venture in Asia, will keep licenced engineers and their association in the game for many years yet.
I say again, well done Peter Somerville, et.al. You guys obviously saw what was on the radar. You should have been a pilot.
