The lack of solid information means that for a period the losses can be hidden and shifted....but longer term is the case is rubbery it will fold into mainline which after all is the established business providing the capital for these "adventures"
Totally agree QF.But I think we constantly miss the bigger picture GOD has planned. JQ has become the penultimate IR tool. Its serves one main purpose and that’s to drive our crew costs down. The punters don’t care who is up front, and a full service Y or J seat to CDG or wherever, is just that. They don’t care if it’s QF, EK, SQ, CX and now JQ. That’s why people still fly Korean.
Once these guys are online with the 330, why not use them to fly QF 330 as well. ANA do this currenlty with a mix of contract crews and mainline for example. Remember this insanity; these guys took 100K pay cut to do the same job. I’m sorry if I'm negative, but why use us when they do it for 40% less?
