[edit] Qantas

I see that you have been making regular edits on some of the same articles as me.

I think we are fighting a losing battle re the number of aircraft in Qantas' fleet. Every time you or I update the number in the fleet, Russavia alters it back.

According to the Qantas FAQ, if you add up the total it comes to 220. I would have thought that this would be a reliable reference, but Russavia claims it is just PR and not substantiated.

I realize that this total includes all aircraft owned by subsidiaries including Jetstar, Qantas link, etc. I have even qualified this in several articles where this appears. In my opinion, this still makes Qantas the 17th largest airline in the world by fleet size, but Russavia has removed this as well from the Qantas article.

I suppose it would be possible to go through the CASA data for each of Qantas' subsidiaries and add them together, but I was just wondering if you knew of any other definitive references for the Qantas fleet and/or its position in world ranking or any other ideas about what we can do to ensure that this doesn't keep getting altered back each time someone updates it.

P.S. I guess it also irks me that someone who lives in Russia keeps downgrading the importance of the Aussie airline.
