I suspected something was a bit amiss in the Virgin camp when QF made the announcement they were increasing the fuel surcharge. Everything was just WAY WAY WAY too quiet. Usually after QF announces something, Brett Godfrey has his mug on the tube announcing how Virgin will counteract this by "reducing fares by $6" or whatever it may be.
As for
VB pulling out of CBR - well that route was never going to succeed to begin with, unless they offered a full service economy and business class. CBR customers are known for being the most demandin... err.. selective out of all ports.
