Judging by the article in full mentioned I must say that the answer will be no.. .I judge this by the fact that Virgin/Qantas have tied up the rest of the market and cut themselves a very tight little niche.

Add this to the fact that Qantas has virtually tied up the entire business class market (high yield and a must for higher profit in any airlines language).

Couple this with Ansett's total lack of ability to effectively advertise in an appealing manner and their inherent stinginess displayed through a new frequent flyer scheme which I can only call not only insulting but tight-arsed and you have a recipe for disaster.

Never thought I'd say this but after the employee entitlements are paid out they better shoot the old girl and put it out of it's misery!

Quit now and avoid the December rush guys!!
