The only real competetive schedules are from Melbourne to Adelaide which is connecting their two bases.

Will be hard to crack the stranglehold DJ have on the Tassie market,the freight and pax we put into and out of Tassie is very good.

Try triple daily weekdays, double daily weekends for HBA-MEL from mid December, plus an extra daily starting mid February, plus the four a week HBA-ADL starting in March. I think that up to 5 a day from Hobart is more of a DJ/JQ busting schedule than you think! (Well certainly JQ busting, as DJ do very very nicely out ouf HBA - fares are always nearly twice as high as opposition yet they fill them anyway!) Oh, and LST-MEL goes to double daily weekdays from mid December too. Would have been easier to make HBA the second base!!!
