As for the subject what would you want Qantas to do? Not re-invest in fleet renewal? Look at some of the airlines where the share holders didn't bother to re-invest in fleet renewal when it was really needed, Ansett under News Corp for eg and you will see what happens.
As for pay rises for staff, no one would disgaree that staff are entitled to be paid a fair rate, but profits in a company are no reason for it. Profits should be shared through bonuses not wage rises, afterall if the company started to loose money no employee would put their hand up for a pay cut would they?

If im going to "QUOTE" ill hit the quote button. If im going to emphasise my point, im not going to put in the whole lot and then go deleting all but the half a dozen or so words i originally used.
I did show that words were missing by them not being there! I did clearly display that the original post of mine was not a full direct quote. The way it is written, with my subsequent question at the end of the first line reinforces such. Should i maybe have used the ' instead of " button????
Abviously the way i write is lost on some........... Even if i did put every single word in, and then put in my subsequent remark, i think people would still be picky.
Bugger me, i did say that maybe i should have written the first one a little better...
[BTW, did i quote correctly in this post?]
