404...your right, and yet if you look at the investment in J* thus far you will see 23 A320's for a return of $11 million profit...considering that QF domestic contributes over $200 million profit I'd say that says allot about J*. But hang on, lets not let the facts stand in the way of good spin from J*
Just look at how well Virgin Blue are performing, 40% increase in profits, long haul starting up...and they don't get the handouts from QF like J* do......
Heres a thought..how about the proposed new owners of QF cut Jetstar loose and see how long it survives?
I think the success of Virgin and Qantas points to the issue........Virgin/Qantas are brands that the travelling public relate to.....J* on the other hand...well.....??????
What was it that the head of Cathay said about a year ago?...."our Low Cost Airline is our economy section of our jets"....proof that you can still be a successfual airline without beating the public into submission!
