Amelia, you seem to be contradicting yourself a little. A few of your points confuse me. You say that we should all share around our air travel because competition is healthy,and you point out that you travel with Ansett at least 50% of the time. Well Im wondering who you travel with the rest? QF 50%, DJ 50%, or DJ/QF 25% each. I think I can figure that out myself as you go on to say that we dont want a monopoly again,TRUE, but if AN goes tits up it still wont be a monopoly. It would take DJ to fall over as well for the monopoly to take place and that is very unlikely. Seems to me that you have forgotten about Virgin all together, remember that they also employ thousands of Australians too. <img src="wink.gif" border="0">
