I see JetStar as QANTAS version of Telstra's latest price cuts and 
calling it "good for consumers" (even though "Telstra's Bruce Akhurst 
said the price drops had been planned for 10 days. Telstra chose not to 
tell its wholesale customers until the day before BigPond's plans took 
effect.")...sure, QANTAS has Virgin as competition in the eastern states 
but they're still abusing their (WA) market power for all it's worth.

I'm waiting for the day when we see REAL discount flights in WA, 
specially between Broome and Perth and if (when?) Virgin starts flying 
Broome <-> Perth we might see QANTAS having someone to compete with 
instead of charging whatever they want and making killer profits, simply 
because they can.

Then again, maybe I'm looking at it the wrong way...
