You mean the very airports that the airline expects to pay for their own capital costs of new runways, etc...right?

You mean the airline that simply tweaks its "carrier charges" at will, including on redemption fares...?

The airline that plays the patriotism card, but won't support the national interest by servicing regional cities...?

The airline that's crying poor when it makes a record profit...?

The airline that charges Australians disproportionate high fares compared with those found in other countries...?

The airline that expects to ram home lower costs onto suppliers...?

The airline that evades staff wages by setting up a whole new operation (JQ) and announces staff bonuses which only apply to those that acquiesce to its draconian IR regime...?

The airline that spurns its own Code of Conduct by giving freebies to politicians...?

The airline that can afford to pay out an annual bonus of $25 million to its CEO whilst sacking 250 call centre workers leading to ridiculously long call wait times for customers...?

The airline that can afford to enter a protracted and costly capacity war with its domestic rival...?

And this on a price differential of a few dollars per passenger compared with the US model...?

The QF PR is a thing of wonder...the arrogant attitude of the CEO and executive a case study in corporate sociopathy...!
