Owen you are correct, however I am sure some Australian families at this time in the financial crisis would prefer to earn less, than not be working at all. I know that may sound bad but that is the reality. If I was forced today to either work for less or have no job and not be able to provide for my family and pay my bills I know I'd choose to work for less.

Don't you find that a little sad in a way? I know I do.
I do understand Qantas is not a charity service and free markets etc etc. But I also think that businesses in general have an obligation to their customers to provide a fair service at a fair price. Not providing a fair service at an inflated price because they are able to take advantage of their customers.
This is a debate that could rage eternally, and I respect all your points of view as they all have merit.
