But GT is the luminary of aviation journalism in Australia so we shall have to wait and see if his predictive powers are correct.
Cyrus has a good chance and is sees as less predatory than Bain, especially as Bain is rumoured to be looking to make Virgin Australia more like Virgin Blue and has ex-JQ CEO Jayne Hrdlicka on its team. But all the same GT has 50% chance on this, it's a coin toss, and if he gets it right then he will be telling EVERYONE how he tipped it etc, even though it's just a heads or tails guess at the moment.
