Now the Red Rat has a REAL opposition, they have been forced to lower their prices. If VB isn't supported, they will pull out, simple as that. Then watch the QANTAS prices triple!!!!
You must be kidding if you honestly believe that. Competition is a two way street and if it was Qantas that was pulling off the route, don’t tell me Virgin wouldn’t put up the prices. Oh and don’t try that “If VB isn’t supported bla bla” BS . They are getting an average of 70% load factors on this route in the “off-season”. Maybe they should reassess their yield management, as they are obviously not charging enough for their fares to make an acceptable return on investment. This running to governments claiming unfair treatment or wanting more favorable treatment is wearing thin. Real competition is when there is a level playing field for all operators and the sooner VB learn this the better.
