How sad that our govt of the time allowed TL to have such a huge gamble with ANSETT,Most of us in the industry know the reasons but to my mind it was madness to allow such a small airline as TL take out a major Australian carrier.After my time with AN I now gain from the cheap airfares wich prevail at the moment as they help fill my tourist park but I can see that Virgin is headed for hard times as they compete with Howard and Andersons prefererd airline.My view is that any threat to QF will be managed by Andersons team which seems insane to me because no airline did such Australia wide coverage as Ansett (we all know where he lives) Good luck Virgin as our destinies are tied together but I think your opportunities are not of your making.
