	Qantas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Qantas was privatised in 1995 by Prime Minister Paul Keating's Labor government.
		Qantas has responded by creating a new cut-price subsidiary airline Jetstar in the hopes that this move will "crowd out" the cut-price segment of the market, allowing Qantas to remain the superdominant player in the Australian domestic aviation market and one of the few profitable full-service airlines in the world.
		Qantas' record in the jet era was spotless until Boeing 747-400 VH-OJH, carrying 407 passengers and crew, over-ran the runway by 220 metres, ending up in a golf course, while landing in a rainstorm at Bangkok on 23 September 1999.

		When Qantas terminated Christie's services, he subsequently sued on the grounds that the termination was unlawful both in terms of industrial relations legislation prohibiting termination on the grounds of age and the Anti-Discrimination Act [1977] which prohibits compulsory retirement.
		Whilst the plaintiff was able to fly and hence carry out the tasks of a pilot, he was not able to fly to the majority of Qantas' international destinations required by his position.
