Flying back from Sydney last night, two things.
- The plane was less than a 1/4 capacity. Qantas must be loosing a tidy sum every week. We’re probably going to loose daily flights from one of the airlines anyway.
- Where were all the people? I flew out on the first flight of the business week, back on the last flight. A few years ago those flights were packed with suits. Aren’t we doing business any more? We have a huge market just a few hours away and I don’t think we’re exploiting it.
It was also clear that while we think a lot about Australia, they don’t spend many cycles on us.
No doubt though that Sydney is a beautiful City. Had breakfast over looking the an inner harbour beach.

Middle of winter, people swimming laps across the bay. Nice.
