Sorry for my ignorance but with the flooding of market from PAL utilizing those 757s, you mean 5J's SYD flights may lead to losses? So basically, what we are seeing here is PAL trying to protect its long haul by finding ways and means for 5J to incur losses on the same long haul routes? Trying to decipher RSA's strategies here. Seems like 5J is aggressive on its long haul expansion but RSA on the other hand got a handful of strategies on order for 5J not to prosper on PAL's bread and butter.

i think what Arianespace implies is that, with PR launching flights to other cities in AU, they are effectively cutting off additional pax from connecting through SYD... with direct flights, those flying to MNL would no longer need to connect through SYD and fly direct instead.... leaving 5J with purely O/D traffic to SYD.. plus since 5J is not an IATA member, you cant book through tix on them...
