I don't think the Government should get in to this degree of meddling in the market, especially not if Virgin is not competitive against Qantas in terms of schedules and product. This is why I think the likes of Twiggy and Wesfarmers and Macquarie Bank could be useful as owners, they could make it company policy that all their staff travel is on Virgin as first preference and there's got to be a very very good reason to fly Qantas. That would divert a huge amount of travel rom Qantas to Virgin.
