@creativeengineer Unfortunately your memory is incorrect, sir. The duopoly was sustained by the conservative and labor governments. There is also the reality of economics. Running airlines and aerodromes were more expensive then and the government ( Menzies I think) rightly concluded that a stable 2 airline system was better than chaos. We have never had any socialist governments outside of neo-fascist propaganda.

My dad always insisted on flying TAA and not Ansett because it was privately owned. Especially later when the owner turned corporate raider. As a kid I always wanted to go on the balloon instead of the plane.

@captainchassa Someone had that ad on here recently but they withdrew it apparently. Whoever it was, post it back (The ad looked from around 1977-78...1975 even. It was in colour and the TAA jingle was was more "funky")
