Troo Believer ---- publics passion for qantas??????? Being carted via Sydney to Europe and America in the hands of lazy superannuated quasi public servants while being screwed blind by stratospheric airfares thanks to the lack of competition on international routes??????? And the golden gift that was the demise of Ansett?
Lets make one thing quite clear, Qantas has had a dream run with everything in its favor for decades. Its current problems are a direct result of:
1. Abysmal management.
2. Pathetic response to real competition.
3. Crazy Asian growth plans.
4. Allowing itself to become a NSW based political plaything of marginal use to the rest of Australia.
..And dont bullshyte about the "working conditions" of its competitors staff, you know perfectly well that Qantas management would apply those very same conditions to its Australian workforce if given half a chance.
