Information Please

Jetstar domestic will most likely stay.
Jetstar International....well...its day are numbered.
How many destinations does Jetstar Int. have and how many more can it have?
The LCC Model has been undone by the cost of fuel.
Jet* cannot stand on its own financially
Jet* in japan is generally seen as insulting by the Japanese market.
If an LCC was viable in Japan it would have been done by the Japanese carriers.
787s would be a waste of technology domestically.
Once Dixon goes the attitude toward Jet* Int. will change.
The whole exercise has been about driving mainline costs.
To this end it has been reasonably successful.
A coat of paint and Jet* Int disappears
These may be simple observations but they do have some merit.
As with most circumstances time willl clarify all.
