You are so wide of the mark, it's a joke. You clearly know nothing about global alliances, interline, GDS reservations distribution and the massive interface between carriers across the world.
Without the QF designator, Qantas is effectively dead. Joyce proposed vaccination passports VERY early in the piece when there were no intnl ops. By international concurrence, they will become part of the airport structures for check in just as passports have done in the past. IATA have now introduced rules which will quickly require compliance.
But hey, I only did this for 42 years. what would I know?
Indeed!
IATA did not and cannot "govern" the rules. The Federal Government determines whether folk can enter the country and QANTAS determines the rules for its staff and passengers. IATA's vaccine passport, as proposed by Joyce, is a tool its affiliates use. The Federal Government will permit unvaccinated passengers to be carried under certain conditions, passenger caps, quarantine, etc. QANTAS may agree or decline to carry such passengers. Not all airlines and not all governments have the same requirements and Spain, Mexico, Croatia, Madeira, Greece, Cyprus, Slovenia, India and the UAR do not require those entering their countries to be vaccinated.
