I share your view

Simply no.
Ethiopia is to risky for foreign or local investment not to mention being government owned it is just another way for its government to syphon money.
Australia doesn't need to revisit the deep dark ugly days that Ethiopia still finds itself.
"Dwarfism" my humblest apologies.
Fly to Ireland, call a local of Joyce's height (or lower) a leprechaun and see how you fare. Your either dumb or ignorant and I don't think your dumb.
For the record if he is there past June, Qantas are ****ed.

Should Qantas just outsource the operations to an overseas discount carrier? That way they don't need to fire sale the assets but can reduce the cost base overnight?
Sounds reasonable. Might be able to put on some decent flight schedules.

Agree
It would fix their issues overnight, get around the government restrictions on ownership and reduce the cost base immediately.
I am not sure if they are bold enough though.
You'd have Qantas operate with no CEO? His job is the most important in the whole organisation.

It won't pass as it will allow the off-shoring of jobs.
I guess it's up to Qantas to make the case for it then.

Labor won't vote for off-shoring union jobs.
Stephen Jones ALP MP is already attacking it on skynews and saying they will vote against it.

lol @ Tony trying to say that Virgin is Australian cause they employ Australians... Guess what Tony, Toyota employed Australian's but they are sure as hell not Australian. BP, Shell etc etc employ Australians and are definitely not Australian. What an idiot.
Like someone in a burka with a bomb strapped to themselves? I am sure if someone posted that you would be the first to scream in outrage.
Is it not in the nation's interests to have an airline that is actually efficient, acts as a national carriers and doesn't have staff that are useless, lazy and rude?
Worst international carrier I have flown in the last ten years. Diabolical. Makes BA look good and I can assure you that takes some doing.
Qantas is the flying Holden. Honestly people don't use it then complain when it goes.

And when airlines with foreign interests are charging us double to leave our shores in the future I bet we all wish QF was still around..
Don't know how or why people think they are so bad, I fly often and can assure you Qantas are world renowned at what they do
That's not how markets operate.
Why would they do that?
To be competitive o/s they need to be affordable, that won't happen if flights back are empty

Airfares are dollar for dollar the cheapest they have ever been, they won't be in a decade
And if they go up in a decade, if, than Qantas would be subject to the same price pressures that would be forcing up those costs across the board, be they Australian owned or otherwise.
See below. 10th. Their international efforts are extraordinarily bad. Planes are ok / above average. Staff are incredibly rude. QANTAS should sack all its cabin crew and rehire out of the ME. It would improve the airline immensely. When I fly to Oz the agent(s) don't even quote QANTAS prices even if they are competitive. One would think there is a reason for that.

Just pointing out your shameless hypocrisy. If you don't want the criticism don't post such puerile nonsense.
Why would they do that, unless they formed a cartel? Especially given Qantas doesn't really compete internationally now anyway with the exception of the US and NZ routes. They don't fly often enough from Australia to Europe or Asia to make a difference.
I agree. Qantas, all things considered, are still a pretty good airline.

Virgin were owned by toll holdings until a few years ago, when they rid themselves of 62.7% of the total shares in Virgin, the company is now 63% with foreign airlines (airnz has 23, sia and etihad have 20 each) and the rest is random shareholders.
In saying that the company is still headquartered in Brisbane and is not owned by Branson's Virgin Group (he sold a massive percentage of his holding shortly after the airline was founded, he might still own in the region of 1%)
Do you consider Holden an Australian company?
