Jetstar is used as both a shield and a sword by Qantas.
They will hardly be likely to sell a low-cost sword to a competitor that can then be turned against them. Nor are they likely to give up the defensive attributes of this shield which would leave a chink in their low-cost armour to be exploited by other LCCs.
I agree...its contract season. Don't be naive enough to fall for this !!!!e. Yawn.
