Pre-pandemic, VA were losing half a million dollars a week, so probably not the pin-up girl for route selection/yield management.

Mildura locals are being offered a non stop route to Brisbane (with land transfer) shaving hours off a 1 stop trip and avoiding Sydney or Melbourne at less than 1/2 the price
Stop referring to MCY as Brisbane North, it's not even close. It is not even vaguely similar to AVV - Melbourne western suburbs. No one is going to travel 80-90 kilometres from Brisbane's northern suburbs to MCY when BNE is around a third of that distance away.
More to the point, what do you think the MQL-BNE market is?

Yes, and? You seem to think that's some sort of recipe for success.
