The big difference is that even with the 2000 complaint, WJ was a verifiably profitable underdog with significantly lower costs than its principle competitor who was losing $1m a day at the time.

Flair has acknowledged losing $10m in the best 5 months of the year and has stage length adjusted unit costs at least 10% higher than Swoops. Not a pretty picture.

To be complaining that a lower cost operator is undercutting them in a business that relies on low costs and price stimulation is absurd, but typical of the naivety we’ve seen from Flair since day 1.

You can can imagine how thrilled potential and existing Jetlines investors must be upon hearing that Flair lost $10m during the strongest 5 months of the year.

If it looks like a duck........
