If you don't know about J* Asia then you're not obviously not qualified to be discussing issues on this thread. Run away and do your research on the big picture before you sprout off nonsense!

(My added emphasis). Let me state (again) that QF did
NOT do the same thing as KLM and BA with their LCC. (Again) Both KLM and BA competed head to head on the same routes as their subisidiary carriers and paid the price. (Again) QF
does not compete head to head on the same routes. (Again) QF pulls out of routes and hands them over to J*. BA and KLM would have been able to make their respective LCCs work if they'd done the same thing and handed those routes over to the LCC!
If you're going to 'play' with the adults then at least try and keep up!
