Episode 279: Enough Qantas, It’s Christmas & the beach is waiting

from The Australia Desk

It’s not just Rob who reckons an AusDesk can be produced by just saying how Qantas and Jetstar are in trouble. Steve and Grant have had enough too and, even though lots of column inches are being generated this week about the group’s woes, they’re not going to spend time discussing the issues as they’re pretty much as they were last week.Instead, they’re going to hassle David a tad about the “Classic” Hornets then talk about another airline in trouble: sadly, Brindabella Airlines has gone under.To help smooth things over a bit with David, the boys chat about matters military:The RAAF will keep operating the Heron remotely piloted aircraft in Afghanistan despite the withdrawl of Australian troops.The RAN has a ceremonial acceptance of their first MH-60R.After all that, it’s time to shut down the AusDesk studio and head for the beach ‘cos it’s Christmas in Australia and the sun is shining, the temperatures climbing and the holidays are about to commence. Wishing you a great Christmas and New Year where-ever you are and what-ever the temperatures!
