Can't wait to see the impact of Crapstar on Fiji.
It should be a little similar to their insertion into MCY. Local businesses went belly up all over the show as the well heeled went missing in droves to other destinations, as they did with HTI.
Currently FJ provides full cabin service at similar or lower prices to Pac Blue so can comfortably survive with their delightfully friendly and sometimes clumsy cabin service.
Even when it gets a little confused, you still smile as they are wonderful guys and girls.
Virgin inc. is surviving on media and marketing perception, as is JQ. The "book on line" therefore I have the cheapest deal perception is carrying them. It is most often a wrong perception online particularly with International, but also often with domestic. Good marketing overrides common sense in the majority of cases.
If FJ pulls loose or is cast off by QF, they will survive - PROVIDING they can maintain schedule and One World status. One foot wrong and they and Fiji will become an ignored shadow.
Best regards all
