Could someone in the know explain a bit of the difference between Qantas and TAA during the heyday of the 70s and 80s. All I can glean is that a) Ansett, Qantas and TAA were all separate b) Qantas was somehow only international (and perhaps regional? ie not interstate) and TAA was the Commonwealth owned domestic network airline and Ansett privately owned. c) Qantas and TAA were merged by the Keating government ready for sale. It'd be useful to have this bit of context spelled out in its own section for we who were born well after all this had happened :p - Philbert83au
