Given the current JQ fleet of A320 are older and may in most jurisdictional contexts have a close to zero book valu,e perhaps the only place they can go realistically is into yet another subsidiary?
I’ve got it!
Announcing the latest group airline, Jetstar-Star!!
It will start out as a “limited” operation which AIPA will accept on “good faith” whatever the f that means. The pilots will do the same job as regular Jetstar pilots, but for 30% less.
They’ll employ only scabs who are prepared to pay for their endorsement to jump their mates in the queue. Pilots will be lining up to prostitute themselves. And in two years time, they’ll grow bigger than the parent Jetstar and AIPA will be left scratching their heads, wondering how it all went so wrong.
And arriving in 2025.... Jetstar-Star-Star!!
Meanwhile, less than 10 pilots will be employed on the QF LH EBA, or what’s left of it.
Gamechanging!
