(I really HATE quoting myself).

As much as I hate adopting Godfrey-speak, I think that this is what DJ has become. They have devolved away from the LCC model, but have not evolved into a legacy carrier. (Using the normally accepted definitions of each of these models).

So I think that what DJ will offer trans-Pacific will be radically different to what is currently offered, AS WELL AS being radically different to what DJ currently offered ona SYD-BNE flight. I am sure that it will be acceptable to the masses (which excludes most of us).
