The Men Who Established Qantas

from the QANTAS site I know but they are the real deal flying heroes most of them were x RAAF WW1

I wonder what they would think of things today?

Post War Expansion

In 1947, after considerable debate about whether Qantas should remain in private hands, the Australian Government acquired all remaining Qantas shares

The modern Anglo way is to fly with who ever gives you the best deal based on what you want and value. As said below the days of flying Qantas because of who they are as as long gone as calling Asia the Far East.

Am afraid to say have not flown Qantas since the early nineties. At first flew with some cheaper fares whose service was i found was no worse than that from Qantas.

That said I have flown Emirates a couple of times and found them to be no better than and in some ways worse than Qantas. That is though my personal experience and that of others will differ.
