Elektra I agree, but the fact remains that the contracts signed between airlines and the Public Service guarantee them a set low cost fare as part of the contractual agreement.
Couple that with the fact that they are getting a known level of service with QF domestic and the fact that most Pubes like to have a hot meal tends to sway the argument.
Look at when Ansett replaced A320/B737 services with Regional Jets with no hot meal facilities.
The public service travellers almost revolted in Vic/Tas!!!
I agree with Slim.
Here they are now demanding market share and take the standard hard done-by whingeing stance as always.
The opposition is growing, they are starting to feel the pinch in terms of competition and guess who doesnt like it????
But then again thats just what public servants need - Brett Godfrey addressing them and whingeing about lack of patronage on his behalf!!
