[QUOTE=TBM-Legend;10241705]"Is Qantas not paying their bills?" would be correct

In British english "are" and "is" are both correct when used in conjunction with a collective noun.

In the English language, as in so many things, Septic's are different...

Please go back to school....

"A commercial company is not a (plural) collective noun. It is a (singular) legal entity."
