This is a completely unbalanced article. There's no mention of the trouble Qantas is in for using dodgy IR practices to underpay many of its workers, nor the fact that the ACCC is suing Qantas for selling tickets to cancelled flights and not advising customers of a cancellation to their flight for over 24 hours. Qantas had a time limit for customers to use cancelled flight credits but on hearing of the suit, Qantas suddenly extended its cancelled flight credits indefinitely... This story appears to ignore any problems faced by Qantas, and there are many.

Most expensive airline in Australia to fly with. handing our bonuses when they are holding millions in customers' money that they have not refunded.

This company received thousands of tax payers dollars to keep them a float during COVID and has refused to pay back one single cent of the tax payers money. It is about time that the current federal government got some balls and made this happen. It is time that someone here needs jail time for ripping customers off.

A cut and paste job from a Qantas PR release - a company desperately trying to resurrect its terrible reputation in its home market

Comments below are correct. QANTAS has treated Australians with utter contempt, and are now facing DOUBLE the largest fine EVER imposed by our regulators. The reputation of a once-great airline now in tatters. Very lazy journalism. If you're coming to Australia, don't fly QF - you could end up in Morocco with your bags in Mexico.

This recent review by vlogger Josh Cahill says otherwise:

This company received HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS of tax payers dollars to keep them afloat during COVID which is fine, and rewarding staff who weren't laid off is fine too, but repaying debts is expected and perhaps that money can now be redistributed to indigenous health and education without a Voice.

A good decision.
