The Spirit of Disappointment: CHOICE awards Qantas shonky award
Whilst I regularly read of the public's dismay at Qantas being provided with $2bn (AUD) during Covid and not providing an ongoing service to repatriate Australians caught overseas, I read an article in the last few days that indicated United* received $54bn USD in government assistance to continue operating across the world, including Australia. It's hard to compete with that…..
*United was one of a number of US companies that received similar, substantial assistance.

Is somebody fitting 'shonky' hot brakes to Dash 8s now? Or was it some 'shonky' toes pushing the pedals the wrong way...

PS if it was an Evacuation as per the company release there's an awful lot of hand baggage exiting the aircraft as well and only one door in use. Looks more like a normal disembarkation to a standoff point.

A lot of colleagues are moving away from QF. People are absolutely done with lamentable customer service.
I'm heading to US next week, and using a US carrier.
Qantas will retain its supremacy domestically. Internationally however, things look more troubled. QF lost a lot of market share into Europe to the various gulf state carriers. I suspect it will lose some US market share to ANZ and US carriers.

I no longer fund the national carrier which no longer deserves the consideration. I will fly with the ME carriers or American if headed the other way. They (the national carrier) don't care so everyone's happy.
