I find it hard to believe that SRB would be looking at anything to do withg DJ at all, aside from watching his share value. Don't forget that he has significantly sold down his original holding (i.e. cashed in) & is looking at bigger fish to fry - Virgin America & also Virgin routes in Nigeria...

So where do you know stand on the issue of DJ facing the same problems that were going to have Qantas' back against the wall - namely that it has now become the 'hybrid carrier' with Jetsatr taking the lcc route, and Qantas squeezing it from the premium end of the market.... surely not where they want to be?

It will be interesting to see how Godfrey moves to try & solve his current predicament - it might be a bit harder than simply ripping off someone else's idea this time...
