Montague,
There is a big difference between ... ' ... thinks that Australia should be dominated by a single carrier ... ' & ... My opinion ... Which is that Australia is too small a market to sustain two large carriers ... Do not think for one minute that I am happy with a natural monopoly ... But I travel a lot and try to make the best of what I am presented with ... P p.s. Rhys, I agree ... Qantas = 4*, Virgin = 3* and Jetsar = 2.5* (domestically) |

At the end of the day high oil prices will screw every industry arcoss the world in some way all because of greed by the oil companies, is it really worth it? With airlines grounding planes they wont expand their fleets there fore it flows on the aircraft manufacturers and then they have to lay off staff because they dont have work for them and so on, nobody will win and the sooner the oil companies realise that the better we will be for everyone. |

Let me be abundantly clear ...
At no point did I say, or could it be inferred/interpreted/surmised from my words, that ... ' ... Australia should be dominated by a single carrier ... ' ... These are someone else's words ... I am not a griefer ... Merely someone with an opinion ... No one wins the oil game ... no one ... That horse bolted long ago. |

Until there is some other economically viable and supported alternative ... Almost everything runs on oil or a fossil fuel of some kind .... I agree the price will come back to a more sensible level in the short term ... But the days of less than USD100 oil are gone ... Gone like the Dodo, the Grateful Dead and Electric Cars (hmmm, who killed them off in the U.S.) ... |

Just to clarify. You would not be sad to see them go = Virgin? am happy to have a quality flying experience = Qantas? over a cheap fare = Jetstar? Who is left?? |

I, for one, would surely hope that Virgin will get through this. Service wise, they are certainly not bad, never had any trouble with them. Imagine if DJ does fold, we will have QF and JQ (which in affect is QF) and Tiger.
The more competitions, the better for the customers. |
