I have noticed more and more people in suits travelling Jetstar so again the level of service is not the prime consideration. If a businessman gets on board a Jetstar flight expecting Business Class service then they are only setting themselves up for a major disappointment. If they are polite and treat the cabin crew as people and not as servants then they will be pleasantly surprised by the response they get. Have you noticed the difference in advertising for domestic travel. It used to be about flying the friendly way and the inflight service. Now its about low fares everyday and frequent flyer points. They know what is important to the business. If you want service that makes you feel like a VIP then pay the extra and go Business however what I have observed is that the regular Business Class passenger just wants a comfy seat, a cup of tea or coffee and mainly to be left alone.
Who mentioned domestic?

Many airlines have a lower number of business seats compared to economy but they yield a greater return than the economy class. I think you would find the 787 that Qantas operate domestic to/from Perth then on to London could be such a flight where business generates the most $ for the flight.
I tend to prefer the service when going business class, that includes the lounges - but the seats are pretty good.
When I flew my daughter up recently it was business class, she hated the seat, but being a vegan the service to her meals content was great by the single CC for the 6 pax.
