Qantas achieves record sales in US

[pauly7]

QANTAS has defied the economic downturn in the US by achieving record fare sales to Australia in the past fortnight.
The Australian airline, offering deeply discounted fares and riding on the promotional success of the G'Day USA festival, announced it had a 160 per cent rise in bookings from the US to Australia compared with the same period a year ago.

Does this mean we have to release a heap of Kangaroos in the city and switch to using the word shrimp for the next couple of months?

While it is positive news they are only comparing a 2 week promotional sale period. Can that be sustained? What happens to the rest of the year or outside of sales periods is anyones guess? Lets look at sales in 3 months, 6 months and at the end of the year before getting to overjoyed.
