I'll be the first to have a shot at sh!tty media, but I gotta back previous comments here.
CS If the aircraft isn't owned by Qantas, then who actually does have it? Are you trying to tell the good folk down at Eastern that they're finally free of big brother? Of course QF owns the aeroplane, just like they own the rest of the company. And if it ain't operated by Qantas then you'd better tell IATA so that they can take that little "QF" thingy off the front of all the flight numbers (such as the one the journo quoted..correctly..).
Sorry, but a bit of perspective. At least this time they only reported the news, rather than making it up.

I think what CS was saying is that it isn’t operated under Qantas's AOC. It is operated under the Eastern AOC. Different document, different company. Yes Qantas does own Eastern but Eastern don’t operate under Qantas’s AOC. As for who owns the aircraft, most airlines lease their aircraft these days, so in reality they are, or a lot of them are, owned by the leasing companies.
