I’d say Qantas Group would be looking at what success Scoot has offering east coast to Europe for $678 return (SYD/MEL to Berlin) if it’s successful, they might have no choice but to respond and compete or surrender Europe bound market share. The idea isn’t foreign to the JQ 787 pilots I’ve spoken with. Not sure about LAX, if there’s no other LCC’s on the route I don’t see why there would be the need for JQ to be involved.
