So even if Virgin Blue manages to come in at (only) +$90 million, that still puts them ahead of QANDOM and JetStar combined by $57 million, and by > $100 million of Speedy's QANDOM.
Kapt, by "Australian Airlines", he means the orange 767 operation out of Cairns. QANDOM again contributed more profit than the International operation as expected.

Rumour has it that Patrick Corp. is subject of a takeover bid. VB shares went up 4% today.

Perhaps if VB worried more about their hedging policies instead of Ron Andrews in seat 7c or whatever the F%^% that guys name is on the tv ad, they wouldn't have to be worried about such a significant profit downgrade.
Just remeber there is nothing better than a trimmed hedge!

Quite like a well trimmed hedge myself !

A week does not pass by of late when we are introduced to yet another, and another new member of managemnet.

Hope they are saving a few coffee beans for our EBA.

Wots happening !!>

Ok,I just checked the market which has been open for about an hour and a half.

Patricks are up 11%
Virgin down 7%

Does this mean that someone has figured out that SIA has no interest in Virgin ?.

Anyone know anything?.

Jetblues.

Sure thing mate.
As you predicted it certainly has livened up the Virgin Blue share price.

It's slumped to $1.60 - its lowest price in history.

I bet all those Mum and Dad investors still in (that didnt lose 20% in the $1.90 Patricks offer) will be glad they hung on to those shares.

Down almost 30% on their IPO price.

Now imagine if they'd invested that money in BHP/RIO Tinto or Macquarie Bank shares???

BCD its only early days yet. You would be mad to invest in Australian Aviation Stocks anyway, as ther are many other better options on the market.
