The problem with that theory is that there is sure to be another bid soon after this one. You can displace into a category at say 50%, but you don't know what will happen on the next bid. Did a lot of guys sit on the sidelines and let this one shake out? Are they thinking, wow ABC category went junior so now I will bid in. All you commuters be careful.

Yep, so it is best to do it under and MD and save the VD card for later.....

(we were told to expect two years of shifting to get this airline and crews where they need to be!)

That looks like the "before" and "after" of the ATL Category lists when this comes out.

The joint venture was likely to help Virgin and Delta to compete more effectively against Qantas Airways Ltd (QAN.AX) and United Airlines (UAUA.O), the Australian Competition & Consumer Commission said in a statement on Thursday. (Reporting by Denny Thomas
