But back to the other topic at hand on this thread......
As we have all been saying for a while, weather Singapore fly Oz - Us direct or not Virgin pacific/blue is not far away. Once again with all the other pressures/challanges that Q are facing, it will be very very interesting to see how they fare when one of their most profitable (and govenment protected) routes is finally opened up. (Cant stop Virgin PAcific when they're 51% Oz owned).
The profits from this route (and the kanga) is what has helped Q subsidise the current onslaught on the domestic front. We all here know how happy the corperate Pax are with Q service on this route and how much they want more options. Can you imagine the Q bottom line on this route WHEN it happens not with just Virgin PAacific but if Singapore start also.........Me thinks the Q shares wont be so happy.
