Add to that there are people who WANT to fly Qantas. They recognise that they have upped their game a bit over the last few years, and if they only flew services to and from where they wanted to go (i.e.; ex ADL and PER), then they'd go QF.
having flown thru Dubai (as pax) numerous times in the last 2-3 yrs, my family and I would pay good money to not do so again. Make of that what you will.
