When are they starting these flights to Toruble? Where is it again?

Sorry, couldn't resist. I do not have a vested interest but look at the facts. Four and a half years ago they did not exist, they now have almost 50 aircraft and 500 pilots. They grew massively in the first half of 2004 and added huge amounts of capacity. They suffered a 2% drop in profits. I would say the future looks good so long as they decide which business model they want. My personal and superfluous prediction is Corrigan wants control and will buy it soon and that business class type seats will be offered, maybe called something else but essentially with bigger seats and more leg room. VB have moved a long way from being a typical LCC and they will do better if they leave that to Jetstar.
