Stick to QF, VA don't care about small planes so not going to work for you. Rex show promise

Now that VA has abandoned PQQ I guess it will have to be QF anyway. 

IMO, the new "normal" will be very different to the old one. Maybe the planes seized at airports are leased ones? Let Macquarie Bank or whoever keep them! Senior business people that used to be flying SIN-LAX-ABU all the time are now teleconferencing

Having lived in PQQ from the mid 70s, (that's 1970, not 1870 LOL) I still remember how well the single airline idea worked! PQQ-SYD one way was about the same cost as a 2 week holiday in Spain ex London. It will be much cheaper to keep Virgin alive than to start again

In the 70s flying was only for rich people! The bar cars on the Inghams tours were a favourite. 100% smoking, active or passive, your choice.
