I will not try to argue for or against, simply because it is too easy to do either, what I will do is bring a quick point to Wizofoz regarding the
"the phenomena of operating from secondary airports is alien to most Aussies"
True but apparently with the advent of Qantas new low fare airline Jet star we will soon learn what a true Lo Co carrier has to offer, with Avalon airport 60kms + south west (don't quote me on it) of Melbourne Central bussiness district as the secondary airport used by jets star, in addition to the no seat allocation and much much more.
And yes you guest it a Ryan Air employer is assisting QF setting up their new venture.
Virgin Blue is Lo Co but still tries and offers their customer a little more than your tipical true Lo Co company.
So Aussie will soon find out what a tru low fare airlines has to offer.
Happy Flying
