What would be the name of the rebranded airline if it manages to do a Phoenix.
It might be agreed that Alliance takes over, some routes or in some capacity.
Seeing they are already flying their own planes, have an Aust AOC, and have the staff to do it.
The industry would save a lot, going with Alliance, not that I have any shares or interests in them, just saying.
Think it was that ExecutiveTraveller info on their website, that pinged my interest.
Alliance Airlines.
Alliance Velocity Wallet
Alliance Frequent Flyer.
This is just my warble.
Edit: if they have to go down the LCC route, either with Alliance, or as separate, we have to put up with it to save money.
They might decide that those who have Travelbank $ will get a seat, but in Y.
If they own some 737-800s, they might decide to take out the J seats and have it as all Y, and return the leased 737-800s back to their owners, saving money.
No lounge or keep lounge closed for a while, will save money.
No IFE will save money.
No food on board will save money.
Guess we will have to go with the new Virgin being a true LCC, if we want to have something flying domestically in Aust that is **not** QF.
They (VA) are still allowing bookings to be made, after Jun, but I am not game to book anything.
