Just to make my position on Alan Joyce and Qantas perfectly clear ... I'm a cheapskate short haul passenger and I normally use a well known web based comparative flight fares site to find the bone cheapest flight to suit me.
However, I will now go out of my way to support Qantas until they get back on their feet.
Brand loyalty for me has gone through the roof over the tough, legitmate stance taken by Joyce.
It is flawed thinking that we can have a national carrier hog tied at the ankles and knees when it comes to being able to compete in the global market that is avaiation.
Joyce's stance is as much about Qantas survival as it is about drawing white hot attention to unworkable IR laws in Australia at present.
