An honest price? It doesn't evem cover the cabin crews wages alonen with the loads his airline is carrying.
Operating deliberately at a huge loss and claiming it's the standard is absolutely not "honest*
If it is such a good thing then one would expect airfares to stay consistently at $30 for say the next 12 months, on every route?

Sharp sounds a little ‘Bransonesque’. When the billionaire tosser set up Virgin Blue he was dribbling crap like ‘Australia has been held ransom to an evil duopoly for too long’ and ‘this is for Australians, you deserve cheap airfares’. Perhaps old mate Sharp has been reading ‘Losing my Virginity’ or is he just using his political BS skills?
