I hope the boys and girls are up for a bit of a fight. As I've said before, of any NB 180 seat operator in Aus, JQ fly the largest aircraft, the most passengers, the longest distances and do the most sectors. All for the least amount of money in the country.
Something has to change. Any agreement that puts us behind Tiger (no disrespect to the fine people at Tiger) is just unacceptable in my view. Im certainly prepared to roll the dice on PIA should no progress be made towards that goal. I don't know how the commission looks at what we do, as described above, not to mention the increased capability offered by RNP, Cat iiib low vis etc etc, the fact we carry 60 extra people and adjudicates that we don't deserve at least parity with Tiger.
I hope it doesn't come to PIA, but I think in a years or two time, it may have to.
