Qantas frequent flyers unleash over ‘almost worthless points’ in submissions to Senate

[KSC]

The days of “loss leaders” in any business are long gone. Why would someone sell at a loss in this economic or political climate ?

Costco (roast chickens, hot dogs), IKEA (hot dogs) and other places still have loss leaders. It’s actually best todo it in a downwards economy.
As for airlines you are correct I wouldn’t imagine any airline purposely pricing anything at a loss currently.

True that could be a loss leader example in fights, good point.
However, those prices would not be for all the seats and others would pay more to compensate.
