B.Mac. .Bad business unfortunately cost 16000 jobs. I don't think it was Richard Bransons fault that Ansett was run by inept idiots. He has taken advantage of it. . .Should he not expand and let Qantas have everything at the price they dictate.. .Virgin will become a force equal to Qantas giving true competition and choice. This is much better than what we had before. Ansett could have done it.
