Quoting HZ747300 (Reply 3): Is V Australia only looking at doing the trans-Pacific routes? I guess they would compete with their 'parent' if they did SYD-HKG.
VS isn't parent.
Brnson owns something like 25% only of DJ which owns 100% of VA we think.
VA is also doing OZ/South Africa as stuff all competition.
Brnson owns something like 25% only of DJ which owns 100% of VA we think.
The Virgin Group own 25% or therabouts of the Virgin Blue Group.
The Virgin Group own 51% or thereabouts of Virgin Atlantic.
So they have nothing in common other than a common shareholder and Virgin Atlantic have no influence or say over Virgin Blue.
Similar to the fact Qantas own shares in both Air Pacific and Australian Air Express, but Australian Air Express would have no say in how Air pacific is run.

Quoting ANstar (Reply 4): Quoting REALDEAL (Reply 2):
yes but they wouldn't want to get it wrong a 2nd time or they might become known as WHENEVER AIR !!!
Exactly!
who knows, maybe they will stick to the FEB28 date? Might make more sense seeing as they have not been able to sell more seats for 16JAN-28FEB period>
Maybe they'll pick a date somewhere between the 2 dates 16 Jan & 28 Feb (so as not to disrupt too mnay people already booked over that period) & then have an auction where they sell a heap of seats for somewhere between $999 & $1299 all inclusive of all taxes/charges for adults & kids, as a sorry for stuffing you around SALE.
DJ sold some seats in very early days on auction site www.sold.com.au which don't think exists anymore (although they did it very badly).
