There is a "u" in QANTAS (Q

If it's an acronym, Qantas should be pronounced like a vulgar term for a part of the female anatomy (or an inability), plus a certain conjunction (or species of mammal, or another nearby part of the human anatomy). If it's an initialism it is pronounced "Q, A, N, T, A, S", much like AA is pronounced "A A", not "Ah".
Try putting qant into a text to speech engine (Qantas has been specially coded for to avoid the vulgarity).
