All that aside reggiespotter, it doesn't really matter how many spelling mistakes, or how unproffessional VB look when they submit something, anything that gets submitted to the ACCC has to be taken seriously.Hence thats why it's a good thing that they have submitted at least something to get a balanced look on the whole alliance.

VB havent cherry picked any routes here in Australia. They have just filled a gap that was created when AN fell over. Certain routes here in OZ are some of the most profitable in the world, take SYD-MEL, BNE-SYD, East-West Loco, you may be able to give some back up to that?

If you accuse VB of cherry picking, you also must accuse Impulse of doing the same when they introduced the 717 on SYD-MEL, BNE-SYD.

Like I keep saying, yes, VB may be accused of being whingers and press hounds, but they make no bones about it. Thats more honest than what Geoff Dixon and the Howard governent and Max Moore-Wilton did to Ansett to ensure it would never survive.
