The Star Alliance was brought up by Steve Creedy in the Australian.
IF DJ do join up, then what of their recent alliances (and heart ache) with Delta and Jihad, oops Etihad? Are they out the door?
I have always been uneasy with alliances. At AN l could not see the logic in it. Guess what? It stymied growth and put another nail in the coffin, as far as l am concerned. Be careful what you wish for. Especially with the Kiwi's in the same bed and owning around a quarter of it!!!!!
Singapore recently announced that they would launch a low cost long haul operation. Appears that all is not rosy for the future of Singapore as a hub and may be an airline as they stand now. Moving LCC by SQ and moving up market by DJ seems like a conflict maybe?
And what of Tiger? Do they become the LCC to augment Virgin Australia? Just to become the final kick in the pants to the QF group?
And to TBM Legend- Tough!
