I still remember very fondly my first ever International flight, from Sydney via Hong Kong to London and return a couple of weeks later, back in 1968 with Qantas.
I was so proud to be onboard our National Airline, pushed back at Sydney exactly on time and remained on time and incident free for the whole trip.
IF it was up to me I think the Australian Government should purchase Qantas back again and go back to the way we were, but guess that is not going to happen.
