I think you are missing the point here, ACMS.
Virgins loads are consistently in the 70-80% range or higher but they claim they are losing money and that Alice Springs is not supporting them.
Why not raise the fares an extra $20 to cover the increase in fuel, even 70 or 80% of your standard 150 or so available seats on the 737-800 would get an extra $2,600 in fare revenue per flight. Surely that would make a difference? Or are Virgin running a hidden agenda somewhere?
Why would you cut a flight that consistently carts 100 + people in and out of town each day without exploring other options to keep the route profitable?
And no, I don't work for Virgin or Aerocare.

yeah so they're cherry-picking..... what else would you expect from an airline called Virgin??? 
This has already been discussed on the Bastards vs Boilers thread.
As for cancelling a service to the Bogun and Ugg-Boot Capital of Australia, Adelaide.. do you really think anyone will care? Those rednecks prefer the train anyway so they can shoot at signs from the windows.
As for the AS tourists, I could never understand how people would recommend the place when their first sight of AS is the plagon houses (and inhabitants) under the Todd River Bridge.
