I am ok with Qantas finding cheaper labour here in Australia. If other Australian companies can do it cheaper than what is being provided now then thats good because other Australian workers are gaining those jobs.

But pushing the work overseas is a different story as that means Australian workers miss out, Australian companies therefore miss out. I hope you can understand where I am coming from. There has to be a point where patriotism wins and a balance can be found between lower operating costs and at the same time protecting and creating Australian jobs.

And I do believe that Qantas in the past has charged more then necessary on certain routes because of little or no competition. I have a feeling that prices will never go back to the heights that the airlines have enjoyed for so long. I think that after this downturn the aviation landscape will be completely different forever.
