Slura, Can you not see the flaw in the argument from Ben Sandilands?
Ben Sandilands is one eyed in his anti-Qantas rhetoric and he is unable to put together a logically correct argument. He uses disparate facts, tries to link them with emotional (but not logically correct) arguments which all lead to denigrating Qantas or its management.
Back to this particular article. Here you have China Southern espousing the huge potential for air travel between Australia and China - saying they will operate more than 110 weekly flights to Australia by the end of 2015.
Why do you think Qantas want to start up a new airline in Asia? - to capture this growth coming out of China and Asia. The statement from China Southern actually serves to strengthen the argument for Qantas to establish a new airline to capture the growing Chinese travel market.
China Southern have told us is there is a potentially huge market between Australia and China.
Just to turn up the Sandilands dribble factor, Ben has decided to throw in an unsubstantiated rumour about a totally irrelevant (to China or London) flight between Singapore and Frankfurt.
