Good on Virgin I say. I think Virgin are doing a smart thing insofar as putting a case to the ACCC so that all the details of the alliance have a chance to be debated. Whats wrong with that?

Yeah so Virgin may be coming across as whinging and whining, but it gets them a result, and it puts another side to the story.

What did Qantas do when poor little Geoff Dixon got scared of the potential Singapore, Ansett, AirNZ tie up? he went and whinged and colluded and did alot of cloke and dagger stuff with the Howard government to actually help put Ansett out of business with the resulting loss of jobs and family's

Virgin make no bones about the fact they are in the press alot. I see that as being more honest and open than Qantas.
