Barb with all due respect "SO WHAT".
To take you up on some of your points:-
Noise is relative .Cities are noisy .You dont like noise you dont live in the city.The world will not stop rotating because of a couple of 737s flogging about. Chainsaws /mowers/ hot cars boats and motorbikes are all accepted but a 737 flying overhead for 30 seconds God forbid.
A dog barking next door in the middle of the night is noisy.
What do we all know in our heart of hearts ? Tell us because Business model airlines are doing really well . This should be no different.Because he is running over the 3rd(your quote) busiest route in the world he should have reasonable traffic .
This will hurt Qantas and Virgin . Oh in that case Stoddard better not open an airline.... because it might hurt the big two. AND your point about Stoddart being of poor reputation ? Do you see GEOFF and RICHARD as nice guys.................... please.
This Airline has only done one thing differently to catch my attention.They have broken the chain of pilots paying for jobs. A lot of very fine pilots simply through cost of living cannot afford $35,000 to buy the qualifications.
For that I stand ,clap and say "well done and good luck OZJET ."
