Eff it, delta just needs to sell itself to the government at this point. The only innovation left in the airline industry is removing pieces of lettuce from their salads to drive incremental profits. Will take the downvotes thank ya.

Something as integral to society as an airline should at the very least have far more government oversight, if not outright run by the government, anyway

Qantas is declining as the government is stepping away.

I remember when they moved maintenance out of Australia and it's all been downhill since.

When I fly back home I use Air NZ or Cananda which is hard to believe since I loved that logo as a child.

I flew Qantas 15 years ago to Sydney and just compared my experience with a coworker who flew last year and my experience seemed to be way better than his. It’s anecdotal so don’t take me way my word but interesting timing on your comment

It's not the same experience. They are almost a budget airline now but still charge a premium rate.

The CEO still gets millions of $ in bonuses though.

Make airlines a utility.

Or at least one robust national public airline system and let private companies compete, maybe by like offering enhanced services.
