Jon - Doesn't your schedule have you leaving from Austrailia to go to Bali? Do you know if it is a country-wide ban on flights to Asia or just a decision Quantas has made.

I can't wait for your trip report on Bali. In the meantime, I didn't agree with whoever's decision it was to send Quantas' planes to evacuate people, like what happended in Bali warrants the same footage as what was shown happening during the last days (pulling out) of Nam. And then, to refuse to continue scheduled flights to Asia, as planned, like they can make that decision for a democratic, free-thinking people, and if it was the decision of Quantas, like they have the dictorial right to make that decision for their customers, it's doing just what the terrorists want.

If it wasn't the decision of the Australian government but, instead, all this the bright idea of Quantas, I would love to support an opposite airline.

Do you know, is there some other airline that is making a point of showing that they will not go with the orchestrated fear the terrorists are conducting them to feel, down the path of terrorism, if not as leaders, but as followers (however passive), something that every leader needs to lead, especially terrorists.

Is there some other airline in Australia that IS flying to Asia i.e. doing their part to NOT contribute to terrorism in this way?
