If J* is not making much money compared to QF mainline then they might sell it and keep the one part making a decent profit and that is us.
But if one business unit has a lower cost base and doesn't make as much money as the other business unit with a higher cost base what would you do as a CEO of an organisation that wants to increase His/Hers bonus for next year....

If you spend $5 dollars on a Clock that will last you 10 years or spend $10 on a clock that will last 5 years.... Which would you take.... The cheapest long lasting one ?

Qantas thinks nothing of painting a plane and changing a uniform......

Australian/TAA = QF Domestic
Australian = QF operated by Australian
Impulse = Qantaslink
Southern = Eastern
Qantaslink = Jetstar
QF A330 = Jetstar International

This is uncertain times for all in the group including Catering and Holidays as well as Mainline, Regional , Jetstar..

At the end of the day its all about the Fat Cats in CBR and the CEO's making a quick buck before retirement..... ONE GD is skidding out of control towards retirement so an extra $$$$$ mill or 5 inthe bank will do nicely....

The QF brand will remain... We all know that..... WHO will operate it, is anyones guess.....
