Default Shame QANTAS, shame! The Rat's reputation in tatters


"Ned" wrote in message ...
The shame is not only QANTAS itself going down on criminal charges but as
flag carrier, a reflection on the entire Australian nation as well.

The cost of doing business the Liberal Party way!


"Qantas fined $69m for international price fixing

* Qantas pleads guilty to price-fixing air cargo routes
* Will pay $69.4 million fine, apologises 'unreservedly'
* Markets: check the latest price on Qantas

QANTAS has agreed to plead guilty and pay a $US61 million ($69.4 million)
fine in a US court after being charged with price-fixing international air
cargo rates for more than six years from January 2000.

The US Department of Justice filed charges against Qantas Airways Limited
in the US District Court in the District of Columbia in Washington DC
today.

In a statement released on the ASX today, Qantas apologised unreservedly
for "wrong conduct".

"We understand more than 30 other airlines are included in these
investigations," CEO Geoff Dixon said.


So - does that make the "wrong conduct" any more acceptable?
Geoff - can we expect you or any of your executives to accept
responsibilty?
Or does it justify another offer of more options and a salary increase to
you and your Board?
