I would be very suprised to see ANY involvement by SIA.

The Singaproeans were shafted by Sir Dick in 2001 by the AN/ANZ/SIA tie up. Chinese have very long memories.

BG had better get the cost structure right. With Qantas the dominant carrier, and UA they will need a strong proposition to attract pax. Lets not forget the future capability of Jetstar International and it's very low cost base.

Finally, even if the DJ boys get the flying, you can bank on the first few aircraft being crewed by returnees from the sand pit. The only thing to stop them would be a pay scale lower than pornstars
