Hey Tomo, I don't want to appear pedantic but Quantis is actually spelt "Qantas". In fact it is the only word in the English language where the letter U does not automatically follow the letter Q! That is, if you can accept that the name "Qantas" has worked it's way into the language as a legitimate word.
BTW it stands for "Queensland and Northern Territory Air Services" and was the original outback Australian airline foundered in the western Queensland town of Longreach.
The Qantas Founders Museum is situated out there and is a great place to visit if you are passing through the outback.
Just thought you'd all be interested! Davo
