NOBODY has been "forced" onto Jetstar. People have chosen to go there.
Romulus, I call BS on that statement.
A bit over ten years ago, my family and I had yearly holidays at Nadi, Fiji, we all flew QF.
Enter the orange rash, and now we only have the choice of one star, VA or Fiji Airways ( previously Air Pacific ), i.e. no more QF.
This Nadi route is one of many that appeared to have been gifted, i.e. destinations that are no longer served by an aeroplane with a white rat on a red tail with an Australian accent on the PA.
VA seem happy to take our money and provide a good product in comparison.
