Qantas Airways was expected to resume flying today after an Australian court intervened in a labor dispute that led the airline to ground its entire fleet over the weekend. By the time the labor-relations court acted, several hundred flights had been canceled and tens of thousands of passengers stranded worldwide. Some airline industry experts say Qantas' surprise action Saturday could cause many travelers to book future trips on other airlines. Qantas CEO Alan Joyce said he had no choice but to order the lockout of union workers and end months of rolling strikes that led to canceled flights, $70 million in losses and a collapse in bookings.
