and.....
Which other carriers have total disregard for their pilots?
QF only makes money because they have cut the buggery out of their product.They have done absolutely nothing clever with their revenue base.Then they do a tremendously stupid thing by spending 100 million bucks on refurbing 20 year old bucket of bolts like the classic...sheer genius.They are going to send an a/c from SYD to SFO via HNL..a domestic sector.They can`t pick up local traffic.So 399 get off in HNL and 1 continues onto SFO.While 350 wanting to go to SFO are left in Sydney.
SYD AKL SFO with Air New Zealand is definitely the way to go and on a better, NEWER a/c

Destroys your argument buttery!
And you still didn't answer my question! ANZ might have newer a/c, but they arent making much in the way of $$.....
Sandy: "And which other premium carriers are making a profit?"
And you think that this profit is a result of a delighted Australian public and other international travellers who are falling over themselves to pay premium prices to expereince the exquisite service and performance of Qantas?
Its a result of Qantas's stranglehold on capacity that allows them to operate like a low cost carrier while charging premium prices.
Try and understand this Sandy: No one EVER flies Qantas by choice anymore.

Sunfish says "Try and understand this Sandy: No one EVER flies Qantas by choice anymore." Now is that fact or opinion? I can only assumeit is ill founded opinion, given that I know many people who will only fly Qantas. There choice.
I;m afraid the average punter would be lucky to know if he were in a Boeing or Airbus let alone the differnce between a -400 and -300. That being said, personally I agree the 300's should have been retired long ago.
Which other major airline operates 747 - 300's? Answer is: JAL and lots of them.

Right there with you obno. Sunfish? YOU dont fly Qantas by choice. You cannot speak for others, nor make idiotic sweeping statements.
Qantas still has 60% of the domestic market. That means that those who still fly Qantas have MADE the choice. Those punters who fly ANYWHERE with Qantas have made a positive choice, because Qantas does not have a monopoly on ANY single route. There are choices for EVERY route. Some are limited, but there are STILL choices.
Sunfish, continue your little tirade against QF. You think you are going to make a difference? I certainly don't. Most on PPrune see straight through you. You are a pathetic little failure, both as a CEO and a person.

747-300
Its true the 747-300 is a bucket of bolts, ****e..... I operate on it quite frequently, I have never completed a sector where the IFE has been fully functional, the toilets always block up, or the flood zone E with sewage, the list goes on and on, and then don't forget about the breakdowns.
The pilots obviously think that the 300's are great from their point of view, but when you have to explain 1000 times to the punter that they have to sit there in the darkness for the next 12 hours it wears a bit thin, ====reason the aircraft is OLD......oh and yeah, whilst you sit there in the darkness, there is a great smell, its call raw ****e coming from under the carpet....
And as far as SFO, who cares....never liked that place anyway!

I thought VB did announce a record profit, but it's been downgraded 5 times? Point is, whatever spin doctoring QF may put out, VB do a good job of keeping up with the BS!
But thats business I guess hey? Never let your competitors get a whiff you may be trouble?

Rumour
QF Pilots are to receive training on how to communicate with passengers.Chief pilot Pete Conrad has taken great pains in an appropriately worded letter to all concerned to explain the reasons why pax are so important.
Some, on reading this letter, have been known to express absolute surprise as to this very reason they have a job.A number felt that pax were there to cushion the impact of their feet as they were deplaning.
The long talked about "dog on the flight deck"is to be further explored.
A free doggy dish is to be provided for every individual attending.
Captain Conrad feels that considering the subject matter and the quality of those attending the course a time frame of 2 millenia should be sufficient to bring everyone up to speed.
For $AU 2.50 a personalized doggy dish will be made available.
