Having thought about your posts regarding the demise
of Virgin Blue, I have gone through the Qantas site
trying to work out where VB could operate when they
run out of terminal space in SYD and MEL,


Possible Aust routes without SYD-MEL:

* CBR-ADL
* ADL-ASP
* BNE-ASP
* DRW-CNS
* OOL-ASQ
* CNS-ASQ
* ADL-CNS
* ADL-DRW
* BNE-HBA
* BNE-PER
* BNE-ROK

These are just a few of the possible options.

A question,
is there any reason why VB cannot run to leisure
destinations out of Australia using SYD-MEL-BNE
international terminals?, if not VB have a swag
of options, remembering the B737-700 has a range
of 6038km and the B737-800 5449km.

* BNE-DPS (Bali) 4502km
* SYD-DPS 4622km
* MEL-DPS 4365km
* CNS-DPS 3414km
* DRW-DPS 1740km

* BNE-NAN (Fiji) 2713km
* SYD-NAN 3156km
* MEL-NAN 3882km

* BNE-RAR (Cook Is) 4842km
* SYD-RAR 5031km
* MEL-RAR 5649km (737-700 only)

* BNE-NOU (Noumea) 1442km
* SYD-NOU 1952km
* MEL-NOU 2687km

* BNE-POM (Morsby) 2084km
* SYD-POM 2721km
* MEL-POM 3127km
* CNS-POM 824km

* BNE-MNL (Manila) 5752km (737-700 only)
* DRW-MNL 3116km

Could this be someting like the "Pacific routes"
Brett Godfrey was on about in Perth a few weeks
ago, or maybe my mind running riot.
