Industry insiders say VS will be lucky to survive the first half of 2002. Loads down by up to 30%! SQ dont want to even talk to the Giggling Pom after his little check ripping episode.
$5 tickets are a disgrace and just another instance of VB hypocrasy. For an "airline" that wasn't going to get involved in a price war according to Godfrey they seem to have forgotten their own rules. VB have a well worn path to the ACCC but they cry foul if they cant do exactly what they want.
$5 tickets are stupid and unsustainable as we all know it creates a false impression in the public that they should fly every time for $5.
All VB have done in this country is bring down wages by getting desperate people to work for peanuts and compromise air safety by starting a price war they cant win.
The sooner they fold the better.
