Scoot again giving away Europe flights
AUD$339 PER/ATH + few dollars for bag & meals. Guess no one wants to fly those dodgy arab airlines anymore, since it was revealed they contribute to terrorist funding.

Since when was Scoot a "dodgy arab airline"? And if it is not, why are they giving away flights if they are doing well vs. their competitions?

It seems pretty clear to me what he's saying is that because nobody wants to fly those "dodgy arab airlines", Scoot is now going to step in.
He's obviously referring to Qatar et al.
If that was the case they wouldn't be so cheap

yeah let's look at recession early effects
1) property market is stuffed & will be for years. Builders/developers/speculators going belly up, left right & centre, which means building workers/traddies not getting paid
2) retail is stuffed, with many gone already & everyone left, trying to give stuff away
3) travel is in trouble. Long haul suffering the most. It's cheaper to go to USA than Queenstown. The arab airlines will suffer big time, as now linked to terror & other carriers discount like crazy to try & fill seats.
With costs at home rising, people will still want to go on holidays, so maybe they will go domestic/short haul (ie cheap) &/or for less time.
Going to be interesting.
At least the VA pilot shortage might be solved overnight, as ME carriers shed pilots & they return home.
