Who will win Qantas etc or Virgin/Skywest

G'day everyone,

Just a quick question.

It seems that both Qantas and Virgin are going after each other at every turn. Virgin introduced V to compete with QF international, Qantas introduced JQ to compete against VB. VB brought in the E-jets to compete with Qantaslink, and are now tying in with Skywest to introduce turbo-props to the east coast and Qantas have bought Network over in the west to try to hit Skywest where it hurts.

Now the question is; Is it sustainable? In this competition will margins be cut to the point where someone or several someone's go bust? If QF starts going after Skywest with F100's & B717s on FIFO surely they will find it tougher to survive.

Who will win? QF or DJ... and who will lose?
