Qantas & Virgin Blue to share whats left of Ansett.

QF set up there low cost operation to do there less profitable routes using ex ansett drivers and pay them sod all because there will be a "special bunch" of them who will take whatever they are offered.

VB will expand rapidly on the main routes with SIA possible buying into them to fund there growth. In a few years time when they are going really well they'll float half the outfit on the stock exchage and Branson /SIA make a huge killing.

Freedom Air will start operating domestically in Australia to keep everyone honest.

AirNZ hopefully will expand it's onwards (Intl)carriage out of Australia in partnership with SIA/VB.

The Ansett shambles will be hottly debated in conjuntion with the 89 dispute for the next 20yrs on prunne ensuring that Danny has many more sleepless nights!
