How do you think the sale of Qantas will affect QF FF members?

NM · #1 (**permalink**) 12th February 2007, 10:12 AM

This is one of a four polls I am posting here to see if we can gauge our own community perspective on the thoughts on this somewhat controversial topic.

Please answer the question honestly, noting that some of these polls are similar but have a distinct difference. The poll questions in total are:

1. Do you think the Qantas sale should go ahead?

2. Do you think the Qantas sale will go ahead?

3. Do you think the sale of Qantas will be good for Qantas FF members? (this poll)

4. Do you think the sale of Qantas is against the Australian National Interest?

There has already been a great deal of discussion about these topics in various threads, so please don't turn these polls into forum to try to convince others to agree with your views or opinions. Feel free to just answer the poll questions and keep the expression of personal opinions to the other existing threads.

Please feel free to post questions here relating to any clarification you may require before answering the polls.

What timeframe are you talking about? Answer could be different in short or medium term. As for long term, in the end we are all dead!

Note that I have changed this poll to include a 4th option. Anyone who voted previously will need to vote again in this fresh question.

How about we look at the term being bandied around for the re-float of Qantas in about 5 years time. So look at how they will be affected over the next 5 years.

Okay just to be clear - the 5 year timeframe does or doesn't include what any onward buyer (if any) might do? I vote does not.

Another thought - is this QFF members in general or just how it affects me personally? Again could be 2 different things.

Lets keep it personal

and to the timeframe that it is (or may be) owned by APA.

Understand. Also remember looking at the impact. So not comparing with what QFF looks like today but what it would change to regardless of sale (surely no one is naive enough to think no further enhancements over the next 5 years, indeed we could well be "due" for one).
