part of the national carrier’s role

QF still positioning itself for a post-Virgin world? We haven’t had a ‘national carrier’ for yonks.

I did find these amusing given our “currant war”.

The Currant War is a very good film:

Yes, they have been using this term in a few of their most recent announcements. I assume it's for the same reason that they start playing "I still call Australia home" when you're on hold to their call centre for more than an hour.

Fixed that for you.

Maybe they could redo the lyrics then?

I've been to call centres that never close down,
From Manila to Jo'burg to old Auckland Town.
But no matter how bad or how long I hold
I still vall ue-my-Qantas Gold.

I'm always calling
Because skype is but free
And so I keep dialling and try to make a strong plea
But my heart lies waiting for ages on hold
I still vall ue-my-Qantas Gold.

All the positive cases returning from around the world
Away from their family and friends
But as the world gets the good old Corona
It's good to know when isolation ends...

 

[AIRwin]

Someday we may not be flying anymore
When cruise ships are also banned from our shore
I realise even if all airlines should fold
I still vall ue-my-Qantas Gold.

 

[PineappleSkip]

And as long as I have to wait for my voucher
I still call Qantas
I still call Qantas
I keep calling Qantas from home!
