I'm not sure about $1 PS but:

Qantas seems to lurch from bad to worse news-wise. Dangerous to rely on a competitors misfortune to rely on your own growth but still, the facts are the facts:

You'll note that Etihad is mentioned particularly in the article.

I feel for QAN, I really do. I can still remember the smiling assassins Margaret Jackson and Geoff Dixon celebrating the QAN takeover by Alco (!!!!!!).

But VBA, on the other hand, with a very new fleet, V-Aus under control and a vindictive and talented ex-QAN manager, is clearly now the 'CAN DO' company.

And we seem to be partnering with people with great, forward thinking ideas too!

Like I said, not sure about $1 PS, but as soon as we get back to divs (don't forget. a lot of instos AREN'T ALLOWED to carry non-div-producing shares in their portfolios), I think we'll soon reflect that these were buying days...


Cheers.
