Wind up alert!!
Signing on yesterday and run into a Office lurker on ground duties in QCC.
Told me "must go, company has been asked by federal government to put together an action plan to cover for the collapse of Virgin Blue".
So, now we have a lowly office lurker privy to some secret Government decision which the media do not yet know about?
Spare me please!
The Two Airline Policy was brought in to save Ansett.
No, it was introduced immediately post World War II to regulate domestic airlines and if anything, to protect the Government investment in TAA. The original two airlines were TAA and Holyman's ANA. It did not affect Ansett until that airline acquired ANA in a reverse take over in the early 1950's.
I have a strong inclination to move this thread to Jet Blast!
