Thanks, I told you that I wasn't that smart !

Silly me, I would have thought that as Qantas is (often) the highest priced airline that by carrying more passengers they would gain more revenue.

So I've learnt from the smart people here that carrying more passengers (when you're apparently already the highest priced) doesn't lead to more revenue but less !!

Obvious solution then to gain more revenue is to fly less passengers.

Logical extension.....Carry less and less passengers and watch your revenue grow and grow until eventually you carry no passengers and have more revenue than you can cope with ?

You should write for the AFR, seems like they need good journalists, a few days ago they were valuing the airline at around the $2.5b mark and the FF Program around the $3.0b mark, that's a lot for a bit of "fluff".
