This article is for subscribers only.
In "Boeing (BA) roars ahead" (News: Analysis & Commentary, Nov. 7), your writers have accurately spelled Qantas Airways. However, the person who designed the chart wasn't as lucky. In 1920, in Outback Australia, an airline was born. It was called Queensland and Northern Territory Aerial Services Ltd. (QANTAS). We pronounce the acronym "Kwontas," but spell it Qantas.
