    You have to wonder why they try.
    Unless they do something very niche then the chances of survival are
    very slim.
    It would be a lot less painful to put all the money in a pile and set
    fire to it.

    With Bonza it was because the different approach of
    not using hubs does work there but he couldnt actually
    work out that our system is still entirely hubbed.

    Yeah, there are a couple of operations
    that succeed that way here with fifos

    Yeah, and not clear who the Koala
    fella plans to con into financing it.

    That is how Virgin Blue got started with Branson
    putting up the money but they went broke anyway
    and is still very marginal profit wise even now.

    I know a couple of pilots who fly for Network Aviation which is based in
    Perth but they (husband and wife) live in outer Melbourne.
    I know she flies charter flights such as tourist flights to Antarctica
    plus flying football teams around.
