...keep the existing business as a passenger airline, and look at ways to reduce operating costs.
Okay you
VB guys, where is all this fat that they are going to cut away to reduce costs? Isn't that the point of an LCC, low operating costs?
My two cents is this is about two things: 1) A clash of egos and 2) Changing the
VB model so that QF go longer squeeze them from both ends of the market; that is the full service QF product and the budget carrier Jetstar product.
VB is in the middle ground right now. They are making money but have no where to grow.
