No no no M....you are (I think?) a pilot....stay focused. The main thing is the next thing etc etc.
This is abut how a LCC works, in a symbiotic relationship with its parent or by itself. Both tried and true strategies, both legal, both well tested
Faced with Virgin and Tiger at home, Freedom on the Tasman and (one day) Singapore etc on the Pacific alongside V-Australia.....exactly what would you....not others....YOU personally have done to protect the Qantas Group's revenue stream and shareholder interests? And the 30 something thousand jobs? Hope for the best? Light candles? Sacrifice a lamb? Or actually face real world issues and the simple fact that lower fares mean more jobs....for our friends, colleagues and family.
I would love every pilot to retire rich (wish I could) but you can't do that without a job.
