Do you really think the Qantas group, one of the and sometimes THE most profitable airline in Australasia will just roll over and die.......hhhhhhmmmmmm..... I'm pretty sure there is plenty of money in the kitty.
The whole point of competition is the lower fairs. if Tiger and Virgin were the only 2 operators nothing would have changed..... except the airfares (and not in a good way either) and pilot wages (down they gggggooooooo!!!!)
Roses tend to be a nice thing at first. They look pretty and you really think your going to get something if you buy them.... just beware the thorn in their side.
