Actually Keg, if you think you were being bullied in the workplace for your religious views you would also have a case. It is the bullying/ harassment that is illegal, not the issue that people are harassing you about

Qantas has no business pushing this agenda, and getting many of its (ex) customers off-side in the process.

What political agenda? The Mardi Gras is a huge social event and attracts a lot of people - last year over 300,000 watched the parade:
Mardi Gras 2016: Glitter explosion in Sydney's Oxford Street as thousands attend parade - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)
It's clearly a big deal tourism-wise:
"In 2015, more than 23,000 interstate and international visitors travelled to Sydney for the annual Mardi Gras Parade and to take part in some of the festival's series of events"
Unforgettable Experiences Mardi Gras l Qantas

If it was just about the numbers; Floriade in Canberra attracted 481,514 visitors in 2014. I don't see Qantas painting flowers on the side of its aircraft. If you don't think that it also has a political component to it then you must also think Question Time is really an attempt to advance the country and not the showboating that it actually is.

Who really cares? Can you change it?
Pilots amaze me that they spend so much energy on the things they can't control or are not significant.
On the other hand they fail to understand their own Industrial Agreements or sustaining terms and conditions of their profession.
It's sad that we are seeing more concern about this issue than protecting hard fought conditions that protect health/wealth wellbeing and time with friends and family.

Setting aside the commercial impact. I can't think of a more contemporary Australian company than q in the present day that can help such a tiny portion of Aussie society be happy.
As for the circle of influence - being mentally idle on topical issues may work for the rest of the world for those who choose to follow such dumb and tactless philosophies of that sort. But, it is my experience that Australian's are very mentally active, very educated, and aren't afraid to engage and tackle issues of the day, no matter how influential their thought's are. I think this a distinguishing and elevating feature of an Aussie.

He's clutching at straws and big noting himself. He started by wasting billions, now he's worked out he only has millions/hundreds of thousands to spend, and he's STILL spending it on fripperies. And that term wasn't meant to be funny. Ask the well dressed lady who paid full whack business and shat herself at TOD into Dallas while waiting for a toilet after the 'new config' numbers were reduced how she might feel about Mardi Gras paint. Except she would be far too embarrassed to even say. Also the logo change. And the $15m on technical attendant uniforms....

....Just stumbled on this thread when accidentally actioning 'Today's Posts'.
Skimmed page 1 only, and noted the acronym LGBTQI. I looked up LGBT a long time ago, but this would seem to imply a further new age edition to the group. The 'Q' word that springs to mind is, I thought, symptomatic of an illegal phobia, thus 'QI' is a puzzle. If it stands for Qualified Instructor, does this cover all modules?

Yes, then after that it's off to a correction facility where electric shocks will be used to condition your brains not to feel sexual attraction towards members of the opposite sex.

Do you have issues with all QF themed aircraft? Or just this one? I'd hazard a guess that it's this one in particular. Go be miserable somewhere else.
