T - airline businesses are very good cash cows. Nothing surprising there. Profitability on the other hand......

Lenders don’t lend, lessors don’t lease and shareholders don’t invest on free cash flow. With $1.9 Billion in sustained losses, VA is a poor story.

Ansett actually produced a profit in the last few years, more than I can say for VA
