Well my invitation must have been lost as well, and after all I have done for them! Just shows you. Happy birthday QF, you have been thru some sh%t times, WW2 where you lost aircraft and crew, the pilots strike in the 60's, and the loss of a Connie, in the 80's you nearly went broke, you thrived in the nineties when TN and QF became one, and then you were sold off to shareholders, which for want of a better word, you changed forever. In the new century a Joey was born, "Jetstar" which has been a great success, and meets a market that was necessary for these times, and in 2008 we nearly lost you to a bunch of carpetbaggers in the MACBANK, which after the Global Crisis, would have probably seen your demise, (unless the govt of the day stepped in) and 36 thousand people would have lost their jobs, and this great country, their national icon. Thankfully that QF luck held out, and continues to do so (just). Perhaps QF this is the time to thank your great staff, be they tech crew, cabin crew, engineering, ground staff, because they have shown great loyality and more often than not you have not shown them the same. So raise your glasses to all the people who made QF what it is, from the earliest days, and may you fly straight and level for years to come, despite your failings you are a much loved icon in this country, and will probably continue to be so for years to come. Amen.

They must have misplaced my invitation.
Good to see 'Corporate Ken' throwing in his 2 cents worth of stupidity - Ken you are a complete and utter knob! Take your tweed coat, panama hat and clay pipe and return to obscurity where you belong.
Travolta actually is a very well matched embassador really - Fake, has too much money to play with, scripted, false, disconnected from reality and full of crap - Just like QF management.
Perhaps QF management are Scientologists ??
