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.
