We're criticising Qantas until they let us into the Chairman's Lounge
The Chaser has been pretty critical of Qantas since the earliest days of our newspaper – and recently we sold lots of highly satirical QANTARSE merchandise. The recent settlement Qantas has made with the ACCC in response to its recent practice of selling tickets on flights it had already cancelled is certainly worthy of considerable scepticism from Australia's premier corporate critics, Charles and Dom.Alternatively, we'd be very happy to brainstorm ways in which the airline could fix its image problems – over champagne in the Chairman's Lounge. Your move, Qantas! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
