Tossas, did you hit them up for AD-ML-SY? One extra sector, better times. Most times they'll do that if capacity permits. That's also something Tiger can't offer, yet, for the same reasons. Sometimes you have to think outside the square.

Pedota, I hear what you say regarding numbers and such, but you need to take them with a grain of salt. While QF's international numbers might be down, to say that JQ's number are up 50% is not comparing apples to apples. It's the same as Tiger saying that they have grown 15% when the other airlines in OZ have stayed the same or contracted. Going from 2 to 3 a/c gives you a growth of 50% Yet if QF add 1 a/c their growth would be something like .005% As someone once famous said, Lies, damn Lies and Statistics. How much of JQ's growth come as a result of being handed routes from big brother? As I said, apples to apples, if you're going to quote numbers. Not having a dip at you, the company spin doctors from ALL the airlines love to quote bull**** numbers.
