Point taken & conceded Kaptin, but they did include, in the article, countries like Indonesia, Fiji, Vanuatu etc. They do have national carriers, admittedly, not the financial rocks that their countries would hope I suppose.

The impression I got from the article, was like; "Hey, we're Virgin Blue & at the right price, we may just fly to your country, you lucky sods!". Okay, okay, I'm not exactly neutral to them, but it's incredulous to think that any business can go to nations with that attitude! For what it's worth, it'll probably work for them!

Sorry, missed the last bit.

I do remember the SQ Concord (no e). I also remember the CO/GA DC-10 & how the punters would refuse to get on, thinking it was a GA aircraft!!!

Ahhh, the good ol' days!!!
