Word is that EK approached Qantas and Alan bit hard.
Qantas, as I forecast, is now changing or has already changed the class baggage limits and frequent flyer program policies to match EK's.
Watch as the rest of Qantas "harmonizes" its systems and policies to match EK.
After that, the "economies of scale" argument is trotted out and some Qantas staff are transferred into EK departments.
The remaining Qantas staff are made redundant.
Qantas is now a business name of EK in Australia and flies the Pacific.
At some point the shareholders will be put out of their misery.
