Jet*'s Future

No One questions that the illegitimate child of Dixon's is here to stay.
This thread is about its presence and success in Japan.
The market is lagely misunderstood by both mainline and Jet*management.
The attitude is "we will educate them"
Even worse it is totally misunderstood by Australian Tourism in general.
There is money to be made in Japan but some research needs to be done.
SingAir and Cathay have a handle on it....as does JAL(obviously)
If QF doesnt pull its finger out Japan will disappear from the network .
I travel to Japan frequently outside of work.
The QF product compared to JAL or Sing Air is rubbish.
I refuse to fly Jet* to Osaka and usually fly to SIN or HKG and then transit.
It saves time and money on buses trains and internal Japanese flights.
There are a lot of Aussies like me who do the same and dont fly Qantas
