Time will tell.
How many more months do they need ?

Seems to be plenty of intrastate flights in Qld, by QF, JQ & VA. Rex flying the golden triangle in just over 4 1/2 months with lower costs & probably with virgin mark 1 aircraft & crews, so they can say, hey same aircraft, same crews, lower prices.
