I believe this is all a smoke screen to move everything over to Jetstar. QF mainline has been bagged by management as being to expensive etc yet they are more than happy for Jetstar to jump on the QF gravy train with access to lounges and FFlyer points, training facilities etc. QF pilots are also doing more check and training than Jetstar pilots.
All these are costs that will add up and make Jetstar look more effiecient when in reality QF is actually subsidising the Jetstar operation. The cost of fuel will be the excuse why Jetstar are subcontracting 787's to QF in the near future and eventually QF will just become a brand name with no staff and labour supplied by various companies.
