AO..established?

By established I mean Louis Vuitton,Prada,Moet Chandon.My wife is Japanese and my inlaws live in Japan.They wouldn't fly AO if their lives depended on it because it is unknown.They know Qantas,JAL,ANA etc.These are established brands.AO has been here for a minute.What is the demographic mix..Australian and others cf.Japanese.
Also I stand corrected this is my second post regarding AO.A thousand pardons.
A paint job is an option..ie AO to Jetstar,if profitability does not improve.It is about resource allocation.They go where profit is greatest.Small profit at AO,bigger profit at Jetstar then thats where resources will go.
Also you buy a QF ticket and get shunted onto AO..thats why flights are full.
QF longhaul also operate Airbus on international routes.
