When Mainline earns 265% that of Jetstar according to the last financial results(EBITDAR) and the decision is made to invest in Jetstar then it is quite clear that this is an ideological decision based on no financial evidence is insane. It reeks of the insanity that almost killed Rio. Remember Jetstar has more Aircraft than Qantas now. They have been lucky the fuel hasn’t doubled because the Mothership is fast running out of options and money(except to pay bonuses of course). These people make Bernie Madoff look like an amateur! Jetstar Pilots will be training their replacements just as Mainline did with Jetconnect. Wake up Aussie Pilots, you are fast becoming your own worst enemy. The Pilot shortage MAY save you!
