It may just be the way my mind works these days, but can anyone else see a stealth cross subsidisation campaign happening here to destroy everything Virgin related?

Predatory and nonsensical pricing is rife on JQ routes, along with pumping aeroplanes over non sustainable routes such as LST ADL and LST BNE.

It is not hard to get a load on board, but if the ACCC looked seriously at the pricing against DOC, there would be some eyebrows slamming upwards.

At least we are getting $10 per passenger/sector (added to fare in fees and taxes) on JQ, but I do not like their predatory nature.

It can't be good for the future of the industry as a competitive environment.

We do not need a "one airline policy" but I feel that is where we are heading if the ACCC doesnt act.

Best all
