Competition was needed with AIR, now we have it. Great news.

Well if you do fly Jetstar mate just remember when you get on an aging old Q300 Jetstar couldn't sell or give away, that 20 year old plane flown possibly by a Chinese trained pilot with its sardine can 29 inch pitch seats...you get what you pay for mate and remember what I told you by e.mail about 20 year old cars. Stay safe or stay home I reckon

You won't catch me on a clapped out old Jetstar plane EVER !!

I like the bit in the Herald article where Mr Luxton says this Jetstar entry has been a bit overblow(Sure has) Also the bit by the Jetstar guy saying they were not looking to take a slice of the existing pie by entering these routes but rather to cater for growth( He will be hoping that growth is enough to justify the expansion or it will be goodbye within 3 years)

Roger I think you should have backed it up on Friday but there may still be a few shepple left to be unsettled by this stunning news from jetstar

Looks like a real bargain to me. I wish I had a truck.. I'm standing by my bicycle with the basket on the front and if there is going to be a final scramble I'm going to get some handfuls.

I think someone mentioned before, it is more likely to increase the number of people flying than necessarily taking passengers from AIR - both will benefit.
