Fair go ... how can you expect to make long term predictions on ANY new carrier based on their perfomance in the first two months of operations

Sure, J* have had some teething problems in their start up, and loads on SOME flights have been ordinary, but tell me what new airline has not encountered these sort of problems???

Instead of being so pessimistic about their performance, suggest you have a look at their growth since commencing ops i.e doubling the number of flights from BNE-CNS; increased frequency on BNE-PPP (a market QF was progressively withdrawing from); and increased frequency on BNE/SYD to Avalon

No, I dont work for J*, incase you were wondering, but it really pi**es me of to see how many so called experts are ready to bury them!!
