I think priapism hit the nail on the head! The way forward for J* is certainly to have a star/business class. My humble opinion only but dont be fooled by them saying its going to stay low cost and no frequent flyer stuff, no business class etc. How about the theory that J* will continue to expand and QF will shrink. Gradually they will try and beat down the QF pay scales or go contracts. Then in the future when the wages are down they will have a big merge and roll J* into QF. Wont go the other way because they will want to keep the Ozzy icon name!! Then we have a "new" QF will all the same services as it currently is only on a "low cost" (read paying staff less) basis. Our only saving grace though could (potentially maybe) come in the way of a pilot shortage. Just my 2 cents worth anyway!!
