There is only one goal here....
QF continues to to use it's size and market share to bully any upstart that tries to get a foothold and once they have eliminated the competition, then it's back to the miserable service and high prices to the consumers
I for one do not subscribe to the Australia can't support more than 2 airlines theory, there are plenty of examples on all continents, of 3-5 airlines serving thinner routes than here in Oz
I really hope that one day someone with deep pockets can have a real go at QF and teach them a lesson
Pax loads were good for rex. It was purely to use the airframe somewhere else in the network. QF is just an excuse.
