Funny how things come back to bite you - as I recall, it was Virgin who lobbied hardest and loudest for punctuality tables to be public domain!
If the fact that Virgin Blue lobbied hardest and loudest for these figures to be made public, then they have demonstrated two things.
1. They are not afraid to show the public their performance, be it good or bad.
2. They are responsible for motivating the other airlines to improve their own performance which has resulted in benefits to all travellers, regardless of their airline of choice.
I don't quite see what all the fuss is about.
