You misery guts, if I was Qantas I'd put you on a no fly list. Qantas based in Sydney, Virgin in Brisbane. There's a reason no airline is based there, it's a shithole. Full of miserable pricks like you.

Qantas has #[email protected]#ed over Victoria for thirty plus years. Why should we care about it? It shut down its victorian maintenance and overhaul facilities, has no business presence here except for the terminal staff, dragged generations of Victorians to sydney against their will to board International flights until their monopoly became unsustainable and has done NOTHING’ for this state except leach money out of our pockets to support an overpriced Sydney operation.
‘’Let’s be quite clear. I have nothing against the staff. My argument is ECONOMIC. Qantas does not spread its business around the country and its international flight schedules (pre covid and pre open skies) penalized Queensland, South Australia, Victoria and perhaps West Australia as well. Sydney is not Australia’s gateway of choice. It is where Qantas dumped passengers after twenty hour flights. Anyone who does NOT live in Sydney has negative experiences of that Sydney “transit” stop.
What we want is direct international flights from all state capitals.Perhaps with B787s.
To put that another way, you can stick that other Sydney hub centric aircraft, the A380, up the CEO’s backside, if it will fit.

Sunfish- grab a gin and tonic and watch Radar24 it's past Fiji now. It's climbed from FL350 to FL370 and sitting pretty.
It only has 7 hours left. May as well burn the midnight oil, all the way to LAX. It's the best thing TV.
