Hey ttbn,
"It went with barely a whimper, and Qantas ruled."

There was a whimper alright, from the Ansett employees that lost all their entitlements.
One of my close relatives was a long serving employee.

AC,

I know. But the majority doesn't care about the loss of relatively few jobs as long as theirs is OK.

I don't fly very often any more. When I used to go overseas, my travel agent was always keen to save money on flights and book better accommodation. The 'cheap' flights were never Qantas. They were Singapore or Malaysia, with very good service. The odd time I flew domestically with Qantas I found the cabin crews to be barely civil and grudging with service. Mind you, I wouldn't get on a Malaysian Airlines plane now, given their recent history.

individual, what makes you think the unions killed off Ansett?
Ansett's big problem with unions occurred, and was sorted, more than a decade before the collapse.

Aidan,
It's not that I think unions killed-off Ansett. I was told by several mates who were Ansett Pilots !
Too many benefits for those higher up on the ladder !

Should Australia follow suit?
SteeleRedux,
Most definitely ! I just wonder what excuses Private Super funds will invent to get out of paying out ?
