That fantasitic news, I bet old Geoff is over the moon to hear this one. Its a shame that QF's international operations won't subsidise it over inflated cost structure on its domestic operations, its great to see competition is finally starting to achieve some results, QF may match these fares but is the yield still there, I dont think so, profit forcasts are less than expected (surprise surprise!), go the VB!
As last Fridays Australian news paper quoted: Sowthwest Airlines in the States has been posting a profit for thirty years in row. I think that low buget is the way of the future, its the only way these airlines can ride the ever unpredictable storm. Food for thought!
