Lets face it - V Aust's biggest asset this week was Branson. He alone brings in 4 times the media coverage than normal. The media love him, he is a great interview........he got the best possible publicity for the airline this week.
I don't know what the future will be for V Aus - I know that if things are worse than we are being told, they won't reveal it to the public. Remember - survival of the fittest. As for the exchanges this week, it has all been V Aus taking shots at all airlines. Sometimes it is not worth getting into a pointless slanging match.
