I couldn't agree anymore about the sentiments being expressed here...
You're right - the problem is with the company, not the passengers...but sadly, there are those who let the team down (couldn't have said it better mid assist).
Get them in every airline - Qantas is not alone in this regard (that however, does not excuse the behaviour of select individuals).
And what of Impulse/Airconnex getting the 737's??? AT least I believe that's what you're implying cabin secure - unless you mean Jetconnect the NZ subsidiary??? Interesting times ahead - me thinks, this will be where the low cost carrier will start from (they have an AOC, cost base that is now LESS than Virgin's and with refurbed 737's...it all makes sense).
The CNS rumour has been doing the rounds for at least a year...but then again...who knows??
Anyone heard anything different?
