Qantas had the opportunity to do just that with an embedded 734 operation, a gift from the Australian taxpayer. 734, crewed by the same already costed pilots, a fresh coat of paint and high density interiors, they had the Low Fare Airline almost ready to fly.
Instead what they preferred was an entire greenfield operation, all designed to lever downwards terms and conditions.
They are looking for another "sky is falling" moment for leverage in EBA negotiations..
Yawn.
