I think your missing the suttle differences between BA's attempt at a LLC and Jetstar. GO was competing directly with BA on alot of routes for market share, thus eating into their higher yielding parents traffic.
Whereas Jetstar is doing one of two things:
Operating on routes where they don't compete with the mother company.
Or where they both operate out of the same port you will generally find Jetstar is deliberately not timed for the business traveller, so as they only attract the lower yielding tshirt and thong brigade, a good example of this is operations out of Newcastle airport.
This explains why Jetstar doesn't serve the following:
SYD-BRIS
SYD-TULLA
Alot of the routes that Jetstar has taken on and Qantas pulled out of or all but would have been marginal if any profits for Qantas, so Jetstar with their lower cost base should pay dividends for them.
