What about this for an idea?
VA invest in Skywest, why? ATR's yes, partly!
Bigger picture, High Capacity AOC, A320's on AOC, I am sniffing a LLC is in the making???????
QF:
Mainline
Qantas Link
Network
JETSTAR.............!
VA:
Mainline
Pac Blue
Alliance
Skywest
.........................?????????????
VA is where QF was 5 years ago, yet it will be QF in two years!!!!!!!!! Mainline doing City Connect, the rest done by outsourced or LLC coverage. VA have the benefit to apply all this with lessons learnt from a management team that have seen what works and what doesn't!
I hope I am wrong!
