Gday Buster, no offence taken. Sorry if I can't be more specific on that one though.

I often sail pretty close to the wind on here with some of the things I post and don't want to drop myself in it though.

But hypothetically, QF are in danger of the ACCC really getting stuck into them if they were really to start 'gouging' the travelling public. The best way to prove that you aren't gouging is by leaving EXACTLY the same number of discount seats on your flights as was previously available. The fact that your load factors sky rocket because of AN folds just means that people are picking up the more expensive seats. Remember, just a hypothetical idea and thats all I have to say about that.

Having said that, data released to the Stock exchange would indicate that QFs load factor hasn't gone up a great deal but then again, capacity has also sky rocketed.

Now where were those figures.
