Re: QANTAS's domestic sale(s)
Murdoch was not running the airline per se for much of that time, it was left to TNT who held the MD chair until 92, and TNT of course sold their 50% in 1996.

Similarities between Ansett and VA are few and far between when it comes to important issues such as fleet diversity, age and share of the business end of the market.
People who blame Air NZ for Ansett's demise seem to forget that from 1979 until February 2000, managerial control of Ansett was held by News Corporation. Say what you will about Rupert Murdoch's ability to run a media business, but he sure couldn't run an airline.
