Don't worry guys, GT will need to start worrying about his own job soon, as there are going to be quite a few extra "avaition experts" looking for work, now that "The News Of The World" has closed! 
Fed Sec,

Thnx for the link. Some good stuff on that site. It tells the real story behind the destruction of Qantas. the ditching of profitable routes, strong growth in key sectors and virtually no downturn durng 9/11 and SARS periods.
Would suggest anyone who can crunch numbers have a good look.

Is there any way we can split that into International traffic? I know they are saying that their share has dropped but I suspect the level of traffic has at least doubled making their pax numbers higher each year. Is there any way we can find that out?

Yes, traffic figures for international are published monthly but I think they show GT is right. The last published traffic figures for this year showed YTD for May 2011 International carried 5.534m passengers, the equivalent figure 10 years ago was 7.105m.
Must be something else..

Purely as an observation from the link to statistics above........
In 2010 if QF International Outbound load factor 82.8% and Inbound load factor 80.0%, and QF International is unprofitable, surely the tariff structure is incorrect? Looking at the statistics, it would appear Qantas load factor is well above average?
Especially if Jetstar is profitable with load factors of 76.8% Outbound and 78.2% Inbound?

Don't let real facts and figures get in the way of a good story Tail Wheel.
Qantas is BLEEDING cash and leeching off Jetstar to survive. It must be true because CAPA said so and so did the LIBM.

Yep, Jetstar is keeping the parent alive..... $59 fares, use of QF engineering facilities, lounges, expertise, infrastructure, codesharing, etc... but making squillions on over priced muffins!

It must be all those muffins Jetstar are selling. Back in May didn't BB state they were only making money from in-flight ancillary charges. It's amazing that the sale of muffins and sandwiches are propping up Mainline.
