Without wanting to reduce the debate to vitriol,do a little research and providing facts rather than insults.
Yes it is from two well known print media, believe what you may but be aware of all viewpoints.

"VIRGIN Blue is looking at making further cuts to its domestic flying next financial year, chief executive Brett Godfrey revealed yesterday.

The airline's current plans to reduce the number of seats it flies next year by 2.4 per cent on an annualised basis, needs to be cut further as demand remains weak, Mr Godfrey told an investment conference in Sydney.

"So we are looking at further capacity cuts to take us somewhere around (negative) 5.5 per cent," he said.

Australia's second-largest airline, Virgin Blue this month cut 8 per cent of its domestic services and up to 400 jobs by removing five Boeing 737 aircraft from service for at least 12 months.

Like key domestic rival Qantas, Virgin Blue has been reducing capacity and jobs to save costs as passengers are curbing travel."
