NickN,

When will people realise that they were never raping the public on these routes... it was the cost of doing business.

You can claim all you want that you should have sub $1000 fares, but the fact of the matter is that at these rates, the airlines are making losses.

Enjoy them while they last, because at those fares, I can tell you airlines will go out of business. You get your $1000 fare, but Qantas is just scraping a profit and sacking its workforce, while SQ and CX are parking brand new aircraft up against the fence and laying off workers hand over fist.

Air travel is expensive, and maybe now some in the public will wake upto the fact that if you want a service, and you want to fly, you have to pay decent money to do it.
