It's 5pm ... do you know where your customers are?
Mick the trend appears to be, they do well in off peak non business times, but do terrible in peak business periods.

If you have a look, flights are actually much heavier at lunchtime and late late night. Busy on a Friday to Sunday, however that is only half of it. Then, Virgin is the reverse, heavier in peak and lighter in off peak, the margin is in peak though!

They really appear to only carry the scraps of any business traffic, probably as much as Tiger Air did back in the day. They really need to get that fixed before fuel goes on another road trip, which appears that trip has just started, will bleed them dry flying around like that for half the day.
