Viewing it as a threat - they show better sense than SQ, still using regional J and telling someoone on FT they dont bother to compete with LCCs, when asked about 9W's flights to SIN compared to theirs

This really will get interesting. Right now they use 2 class 777-200s/300's (not the ER versions) with 2-class service and regional J.
