Punters opinion?

Nah - thanks mate - I will go QF Y class. Same as the Lownj - Nah - gimme Club Rat.

70% is not a match.

The big con is the jungle jets. A bit more pitch, but in a 2/2 config there is really nowhere to go with width. Shiny red seats just don't cut it.

We ran alleged First Class on F27s out of Tassie in the early 80's. Not a clever move, but at least it was only about 10% dearer than economy. Problem was you had trouble reaching your tray table. TN and AN ran the same and the jungle jets are doing exactly that.

No real new marketing here, and I notice NZ are offering a direct copy of Ansett's Mystery Nights domestically in New Zealand.

There must be a lot of old Ansett/Australian?East West marketing gurus still out there trying desperately to eke out a living on old ideas.

Best all
