Unless you prefer the new wings? You reckon they more effectively represent who we are and what we do?
Yeah I do. We aren't a government run carrier any more so the coat of arms is IMHO unnecessary. The southern cross should have been displayed correctly to begin with. I've also been told that the new wings are made of threaded gold bullion, which apparently will be more expensive than the current metal ones. If they disrespect us why are they doing something that will cost them more?

I respect the honour and tradition you associate with the old wings Keg. You most thoroughly should be proud of wearing them. If you want, I think you should be allowed to wear the metal wings if you wish, it'll be under the now (rumoured) compulsory jacket in the terminal so no one will notice. But I think it'd be a small number who would.
