  • QR will no doubt put pressure on QF and others to solidly maintain their presence and expansion into Australia and use competitive aircraft and not the tired VA 777's in this article. Would not make business sense.

  • Qantas doesn't care - we need to accept this as the catering of the 80' and 90's is over.
