You were an excellent ambassador for both Bali and Garuda Les - in fact your support for them both was plain legendary. That the airline has decided to completely pull the pin on Adelaide is basically just short-sighted economics. I agree with your views that if Bali could get thru Xmas 06, the market would turn in the new year. It comes as no surprise that the Japanese market has made a remarkable recovery and the Australian market is showing similar signs. And where will Garuda be when the wave takes shape? Sitting in the calm as it meekly stands by wringing its hands over its once thriving market share that has now stormed off to JetStar and maybe Tiger Airlines. Heaven help them if Virgin Blue ever make a run for Ngurah Rai airport! It'll be game over I'm afraid as we recall the way the airline dumped two states and who knows how many other weekly flights to and from Oz.
