Imagine them whingeing on an International basis;
"You wont give us any slots into XXXXX but if you did we would fly there....OK?"
Robroy, the fact is that
VB couldn't make the services pay to Canberra with good loadings - pure and simple.
Public servants only cater for a certain percentage of loadings to Canberra and believe it or not the families of Canberra residents keep the route alive in terms of patronage.
As someone said, if
VB were to put on more suitable flights that would cater for the business traveller/public servant then that would help their cause.
Re -privatise QF Robroy?
Now there would be a great way for public servants to piss mega-bucks down a hole and improve competition !!
The fact is that
VB's costs are escalating, the competition is getting harder and their share price is depressed with little industry/shareholder confidence otherwise.
Now is the time a truly skillful and gifted CEO earns his keep and not by using the old and worn out whinge factor about how they are being hard done by.
It reaks of amateurism the way they patronise the public by expecting them to believe every little thing they squeal about.
Stop bleating Huttner and Godfrey and start doing the jobs you're paid for, for Gods sake!!
