We're hoping there will be no furhter delays due to the volcanic ash cloud. Thank you for supporting Qantas' committment to safety.

This seems kind of pointless IMO. Supporters will agree with these sentiments, while people questioning Qantas' motives in cancelling flights when other major airlines did not will see this as evidence that this decision was indeed pure marketing all along.

What Alan also failed to mention was that Qantas was very happy to transfer thousands of its customers onto Air New Zealand and other airlines’ services, which seems a strange thing to do for your customers if you have concerns about the safety of the airspace.Rob Fyfe
