I was sitting next to a business traveller on Qantas the other night from AA to WN. Asked him what he thought and how it would affect him. He said he didn't give a toss. Currently travels on Qantas, ANZ and Pac Blue. As long as the schedule suited him and he got there on time. Not good if he has to cancel dozens of oppointments he spent most of the week organising just because his carrier of choice can't maintain an acceptable OTP. His other comment was that provided Qantas leave their lounges here with Jetstar he would travel on them. Air NewZealand already a low cost carirer domestically. I don't think there will be as many swing to ANZ as Rob Fyffe might be led to believe.
Have you seen the amount of travellers in suits travelling with Pac Blue lately? Heaps. One reason. They're always on time. New aeroplanes I guess? I'm thinking Jetstar will pee all over the current Jetconnect OTP with their shinny new jets flown by Jimmy.
