Gosh Ken, you were trolling and I didn't realize....
Next you are going to propose that all airfares out of Australia are to be regulated by Government to ensure they are "fair" to Qantas, right?
The fact is Ken that no one knows if Qantas are just making up numbers or pulling them out of Alans arse.
. and what would Qantas do if it was allowed to make a "modest" return? Shove the money down some Chinese rabbit hole?
Sink or swim, I say.
