QANTAS Future - a look back

[Pass-A-Frozo]

I thought it would be interesting to look back at what people said about the future of QANTAS, back circa 2010.

Qantas will be dead in 6 months

Not sure many of these posts aged particularly well.

And if the price of fuel didn’t sink so rapidly like it did?

Today might look a touch different.

...and if the very arrogant New York hedge fund that could not believe nor accept that Australia was in a time zone AHEAD of the US then Qantas would now be majority owned by the Australian government to prevent it going bust in the GFC which happened just a few weeks after the failed takeover attempt. Oh dear, would look a bit like ANZ except on steroids.

No it wouldn’t. If that takeover went ahead, Qantas would not be here. The Australian Government would not have got involved!
