Well why not... He does do a good job of making a great airline!!!

V Strange, sometimes it works...sometimes it doesnt.

Anyways, on to a summary:

> SRB flew into SYD today to launch plans to start an international airline down under, to rival Qantas.

> He wants the airline to concentrate on the Japanese, Chinese and American Market. Especially to lucrative SYD-LAX route.

> He hopes the airline can be off the ground in nine months.

> It could be incorporated in to Virgin Blue, but he is keen to introduce a new airline.

> He hopes the Australian government will look upon an 2nd autralian carrier favourably, over carriers like SQ when handing out rights for SYD-LAX.

In the mean time I will look for another link....

EDIT - A link to another article:

Not surprised SRB wants to do it separately from Virgin Blue after the recent battles there and the way the ownership issue has gone.

Hmmm...very interesting...but when will be see Virgin in the US?
