Dixon has to prepare for a much leaner SQ investing in Virgin.The writing is on the wall for an assualt on the Australian market by Emirates and also SQ now that things are on the improve. No way in the world have we seen the end to new investment in the Australian market, especialy investment in Virgin.

I feel for all those loyal QF employees that will end up getting the shaft out of all this.

Buster Hyman, you still have AN ties, have you heard the latest one to come out of Singapore? It involves open skies here and ex SQ management along with certain AN and Airbus reps forming a deal to hit the Australian domestic market. 5 ports initially after a majority stake is purchased of an incumbent Australian airline. The Airbuses are part of an existing order from SQ and Silkair.
