Qantas is installing bigger overhead bins on domestic flights. Might be handy for dealing with ppl bringing crazy amounts of hand luggage on board.

Why Qantas’ cabin revamp is a godsend for domestic travellers

I don’t care about new seats, carpets or lights on short flights. But one change Qantas is making will excite anyone who regularly flies domestically.

‘Too little, too late’: Qantas engineers deride revival of Alan Joyce-era academy

Flew to Perth from Brisbane before Xmas and my husband has gone back for a week to work. As usual the staff were great but the planes are oooooooooooolllllld. #Qantas has obviously invested more in their CEOs and shareholders than their business.
My husband did say the lunch was very good.

I think Qantas couldn’t afford for the domestic market opening because it would have shown how much tax money is barely going into infrastructure.
