Talking Name Australia's Newest Airline Group??

Well I guess the obvious, to me anyway, is

"QANSETTAS"

or maybe

"QFAN Airlines"

Or if ANZ was going to get their way, I believe it may have been Pacific Star.

It is just meant to be a bit of fun after the last few days, however that is probably a very good idea?

Australian Airlines for domestic.
Qantas for international.

Or maybe if Qantas were feeling generous, how about

Ansett Australian Airlines for domestic.
Qantas for international.

Only fun LAME,
QF have already named their new budget international airline "AUSTRALIAN" there fore it would make sense to call their budget domestic airline "AUSTRALIAN" then you have QANTAS international and domestic full service and AUSTRALIAN international and domestic budget.

Rabbit,

That would not be a first for Ansett (and it is NOT a criticism), they had a b727 painted up with a different colour scheme on each side, it parked either left side or right side to the terminal depending where it landed......

best regards,

"lame"

Balinda,

Yes, just having a bit of fun after the last few days of tension, definitely NOT trying to start any friction already between QF and AN, as some suggestions may????



Best regards,

"lame"

The way An staff have been treated by ANZ & SQ recently, I think the majority would welcome QF. I know that I would now & I'll admit, I was one that thought SQ's dollars would be of benefit to AN. Now, they can stick it up the Merlions AR$E as far as I'm concerned

Cool

Lame, I prefer "CHANTUS" - let's chansett with qantas.

They could use the good old slogans of:-
"You should see us now"
and
"You can't have the best airline without the BEST people"
to be topped with

"ABSOLUTELY!!"

PS You should hear the Japanese pronounciation of "Qantas" on a code share flight - "Cu#####" beautiful!!

Thank you for all the ideas, yes I think they overdid the absolutely a little.

THIS IS NOT A CRITICISM OR ANTI ANSETT......

Just an observation, my Wife went down to Melbourne and back with Ansett this last week, in business/first, when she got home we both had a good laugh at the priority baggage tags they used, it says, yes.....

ABSOLUTE PRIORITY.......

Buster,
the way AN staff have been treated by every bast..d lately they'd welcome anyone who'd pay their wages. I'm afraid company loyalties and a sense of history go out the window when the bank wants its house back...

Lame, mate,

You may be having fun, but this to me, comes across as kicking a man when he's down.

Yeah, call me a boring ol' fart, but hey, I have some friends and family who work for AN and they ain't laughin', mate.
