I don't know about pulling the plug but I wouldn't be surprised to see them announce a "pivot" towards being a leisure based jet operation only very shortly. This would enable them to graciously exit their disastrous foray into MEL-SYD and expand into leisure routes such as CNS, MCY and HTI. At the same time, they could get rid of the pointless J class cabin, move to BoB menu and squeeze up the configuration on the 737s. It will require someone to swallow their pride but they can't continue on as is. Their biggest worry is the longer they delay the pivot, the more QF, VA and, particularly, JQ claim these leisure markets for themselves. Soon there will be nothing to chase and then pin-pulling becomes a very live option.
