All great pilot fraternity jingoistic stuff , just unlikely to reflect reality
"Jetstar will NEVER be more than 12 aircraft"
Who & when said this. Obviously JQ had to reach 20 to 30 plus aircraft in the early days
This was never said by QF senior management
"All F/o's and S/o's will have the chance to bid for promotion in the next 5 years"
Again who & when was this said ? Doubt it was ever said
Even it it was, it is more of an economic forecast, which is what pilot promotions are ,depend on economic drivers , the world economy.
Which nobody at QF controls. Using such strong words of "all" & "will" - doubt it
"Jetstar will never fly internationally"
Again who said , and when ? Would obviously preclude them from going to NZ.
Challenge you to produce the time/day/person - it was never said
"Jetstar Hong Kong is amazing"
"Red Q is amazing"
"Jetstar Asia is amazing"
Have to concede the QF management, made every rookie error that could be made when they went to HK
& shot their mouths off about what they were going to do with JQ HK. When they had none of the ducks lined up.
You can get away with that kind of sh*t in Australia , but not in Asia. Don't turn up in Asia and do the "Aussie, Aussie , Aussie"
it just doesn't go down well. The end result , the local players lost face & went after QF, the end end result - no AOC granted
Think they lost $100 M (AUD) maybe even $200 M - Aussie Aussie Aussie
