Quote from today's Sydney Morning Herald:
...Sir Richard said Virgin Blue was in the final stages of developing a perfect weapon to snare business passengers from Qantas: a frequent flyer scheme. "I think this scheme they've come up with will knock Qantas's frequent flyer scheme for six or into touch," he said...
Will they go ahead with it or is this just some Branson-hype ?
Will it force Qantas to respond having repeatedly diluted it's own scheme including an 60% increase in the points required for a medium distance domestic business reward flight from May?
Will it force Qantas to reappraise business service standards and fares (up 18% in a 2 yr period)?
Will it force Qantas to increase available award and upgrade redemptions?
Branson and ther Virgin team (more correctly Corrigan/Patricks these days) are certainly smart enough to make strategic use of the general discontent over Qantas arrogant snubbing of both its business class customers and frequent flyers.
Opinions?
