Ohhh Geoff, you poor little man. Virgin won't get more than 30%?
Of course you'll do your best to stop open skies talks with SQ won't you?
Well, according the the Straights Times in Singapore, Anderson has already given the green light to imminent talks with Singapore government, regarding open skies.
No, your right, Virgin won't get more than 30% of the market. But a Virgin with an SQ equity and with Alliance and REX as feeders will end up with substantially more than 30%
Keep stressing Geoff, the wind has already been put up you with SQ increasing capacity between Australia and Singapore by 17% and with AirNZ pulling out of Singapore, they have the open slather there now. Those subtle and not so subtle schedule changes by SQ must be really perplexing you as well?
Geoff, your favours of the federal government have worn thin. Me thinks you won't be able to stop the open skies agreement because your argument of Australia not needing competition doesn't wash anymore. You'll find after STAR's meeting last week, that SQ will be the dominant STAR carrier in the region and whether you like it or not, there is not a damn thing you can do about it. But look Geoff, you still harbour that fantasy of SQ wanting an equity stake in QF. it makes for amusing reading in Singapore, thats for sure.
