65%line in the sand furphy.
The reason domestic is now rooted is the ridiculous notion that 65% is the holy grail.
Example. DRW-SYD red eye route. Example as I've seen.
Qantas 738 Jetstar A320 and Virgin 737.
Qantas pax about 120
Jetstar pax about 100
Virgin pax about 150
All flights leave within 10 minutes of each other.
By definition qantas group has 65% of seats available.
If the disproportion of passengers carried is to Virgin, which is increasingly happening, due to their increasing yield, and probably better product,
who's making money here?
