I agree with Krusty, Track Direct & Dale H - the forward bookings for most international operators are looking very poor and for V Oz having very significant start-up costs they need bums on seats at a reasonable yield. In the current economic climate, this is not going to happen and I don't think that DJ's pockets are deep enough to keep V Oz going for very long.

I want this operation to succeed because the failure of V Oz would be a shame for all the workers trying to support their families but it would also give ammunition to EK & SQ in their attempts to get rights across the Pacific.
