It is the undertones here. Given that it was raised in committee in relation to the Bill to retain Australian employment, it *could* have been raised as an aspect of Australian travellers losing benefits because of the lack of "Australian-ness" that Qantas is percieved as pursuing.

After all, reduced presence at LHR, means that paid QP members get less access than before.

Anything for political points, after all.
