Toll grits teeth as VB shares head south

[Thylacine]

Some posts on this topic, especially those of Heavy Cargo’s gloating over the possible demise of the jobs of fellow pilots at Virgin Blue are particularly distasteful. If fuel prices stay at present levels impacts are going to be negative on all airlines as yesterday’s announcement of cutbacks on services by Qantas and Jetstar attest. If fuel prices rise to $200 a barrel there will be no ‘koalas’ in the aviation industry, Heavy Cargo included. He should be very careful for what he wishes lest it come true.
