PCDU crew members ATC Ben and Steven Pam join Steve and Grant this week. The Qantas vs. Virgin Australia foreign ownership row dominated the local aviation headlines again this week with Australia’s Federal Treasurer, Joe Hockey, publically floating the concept of changes to the Qantas Sale Act (1992) which would permit foreign investors to acquire greater percentages of the airline’s stock. Grant and Ben share their thoughts on how this might work, were it allowed to happen.
- Tony Abbott says no rush for decision on Qantas’s future
- Joe Hockey to resist stake in Qantas
- Virgin returns serve with call for Qantas marketshare investigation

Steven is planning to travel to Oshkosh in 2014 to film a documentary that focuses on the psyche of people like us – AvGeeks! What is it that draws people to this wonderful niche? And how do we explain it to people who are not? Airheads will explore this issues and more, but it needs support. This week, Steven explains how he’s set up a fund at KickStarter to crowd source the finance.
