Oh I agree JR re the regulator adding to the cost of flying, they just add to the hopelessness of it all.
Loved yr comments about if a business can't make a profit after all outgoing expenses where addressed then they shouldn't be in business.................... you just described QF & most other Co's along the same lines.
The loss of the AAV contract was all about money as we know JR.
Doubt we'll be heading back to CB anytime soon buddy, that's a high yield destination full of 'hot air' hangeroners whom expect service, something our Co can't even spell!:-)
