Sorry Keg, don't mean to be rude, but how do you know the amount of cheap fares on your flights? I'm not saying that I know better, but the only source of that kind of info is a bean counter & I wouldn't trust any of them!

As for DJ's pulling out of Isa, that's what happens when you ply unprofitable routes to provide a service Bratt! If ANZ had the opportunity to cut the unprofitable routes AN flew, well who knows what we'd be talking about now. I guess AN is unhindered by that sort of regulation & they will now fly where the money is, like DJ, and the regional cities be damned!

QF will now stitch up all the regional centres, because DJ got burnt & AN don't have to, and they will make them profitable by charging accordingly. I guess that's making the air fair is it?
