BA - Qantas

I hear that BA & Qantas are in merger talks - am right in thinking that BA hold 25% stake in Qantas anyway?

BA and Qantas have been route-sharing for years - you can hardly go two flight numbers these days without finding another codeshare.

Anyone else love Qantas but hate BA?

"Queensland and Northern Territories Airline Services" - i think - from memory :p

when i worked at LHR, although QUANTAS wasn't an airline i worked with directly, i found them extremely pleasant folk - UNLIKE BA's lot, who were very stuck-up and enjoyed looking down their noses at we mere peasants [-x

with the exception of Concorde crews - who were absolutely great! :D

I have to say that BA are absolutely wonderful.

Grovel mode off - Well not really, they are pretty crap, but little bro is a captain with them and gets me heavily discounted flights and free upgrades - grovel mode back on. :-s

Yep, they are truly wonderful. 8-}
That's it! You people have stood in my way long enough. I'm going to clown college!
