dbl21,

IMO people should give your posts more attention as you are commenting as someone who spent a LONG time working at QAN and you obviously have a lot of knowledge about the engineering side of QAN. Your posts are informative and IMO, on the ball.

To expand on your staff travel comments, Long Service Leave tickets are free (something earned over time)but taxes and government charges are still applied and need to be paid. Basically, the "perk" that QAN is giving away is the empty seat on the flight, that would have otherwise gone empty to wherever that flight is going. I can say this with certainty as ALL QAN staff travel is based on a standby/seniority basis or in other words, staff travel happens only if there are empty seats. Commercials will always come first.
