How about if the Government give a guarantee to Qantas and NOT Virgin. Mr Branson give ALL the Virgin staff an entire payed day off and go picket the Qantas terminals in their uniforms then no one gets to fly for 24 hours, he would get the same guarantee then ???
Qantas have been allowed and funded to bully everyone domestic and International over the years, they can sure dish it out but can't take it the cry babies................ so the Liberals let Ansett fail but not Qantas, such a Village is Australia.
The yanks let Pan Am/Eastern/TWA fail...... we still have airlines.
