Well, I love a good stir qfpaypacket, so cop this one. Keep your arrogance going my friend, your airline could potentially fall from grace if the open skies agreement with Singapore works out. Lovely to see in most of the papers over the weekend a "defiant" Geoff Dixon pleading with the government to not let an open skies agreement happen.
It would be a very gutsy government to impede a large International carrier who's service,aircraft and standards are better than QF's opening up more opportunities in Australia. Especially great opportunities like allowing Virgin to expand, REX and Alliance to feed a cashed up airline that not only has a discount side in
VB, but a two class side using Silkair A320's,A321's.
An airline where Corrigan has his underbelly cargo complement fullfilled in the Airbus aircraft, and the
VB 737's used to go where the 717's and 146 operate.
Boy, think of the jobs and the opportunities there, not to mention the whinging and whining that would now be coming from Dixon!!! Gee whiz, he's be on the phone to Howard straight away!!
Throw all that in plus Virgin Atlantic,SQ, Asiana, Thai, UAL, Lauda utilising the plan they devised last week at the STAR meeting to compete with QF out of Australia. Wow, what a great opportunity for travellers and job hunters, no longer confined with having to fly with the monopolistic, arrogant lame arse service carrier in the region.
Yeah, Geoff has a good idea alright, why you think he's amassing what little government support he has to fend off this inevitable competition.
If you think is pie in the sky, just wait and see what happens in the next 18 months!!!
