Bloggs,
You are damn right. Tell me how many ticket miles, or seat miles are flown each year by say QF.....well take $1B and divide ticket miles flown, then add the extra to each ticket based on the miles flown.
We had a Ansett $10 fee, and our road freight companies charge a fuel surcharge, Qantas and Virgin all say they add a fuel surcharge, but hey...ad a few bucks more. It cant be any more than few dollars on short legs here and maybe from the east cost to LAX $150, but really, who is going to slash their travel ove $10.
I know some of the smart ar$e$ out there will argue they will, but they are the same morons who keep buying cigarettes when they jumped in price heavily withGov't taxes.
Rant over
Cheers
