Article Grading: The following comments were left by the quality and importance raters: (edit · refresh) Ozjet article does not have significant historical value for research. The article lacks important information demonstrating the failure mechanism of Ozjet's domestic regular public transport operations associated with neo classical micro economic theory. As it stands the article appears to be a promotion of Ozjet rather than a research expected of an encyclopedia article.

The bulk of this article appears to have been lifted from a magazine article or news report of some sort. It doesn't read like an encyclopedia article.

After only one week in operation, Ozjet lowered it's ticket prices by around $30.00 for a one way ticket after a slow and disapointing start in flying. on the 8th of December 2005 the only current Ozjet aircraft ( a 30 year 0ld Boeing 737) suffered several technical problems and the airline was forced to cancel a number of flights due to the problems.

I think the words 'only' one week, and 'slow and disapointing' and POV and in the case of the latter, need to be referenced. It has been argued that at this time of year the load factors were always going to be low. I understood that there were two operating aircraft and one on standby. [1]. The schedule[2] shows (almost) simultaneous departures from Sydney and Melbourne which suggests two aircraft. The article says there is only one which throws the credibility of the whole passage into question. Furthermore, airlines experience technical dificulties all the time. The fact that the aircraft is not necessarily the cause. It is the case however that an airline operating 100 aircraft is better placed to reschedule and make alternative arrangements than an airline operating two aircraft. As the article currently reads it looks as though somebody was put out by a delayed flight and wanted to take it out on wikipedia. If this info is to be included it should be re-written and referenced. Mention of the 30 y.o aircraft should be elsewhere in the article. -- Adz 02:21, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
