Genex,
You fall under the same definition of hypocrite as Dixon.
On the one hand the argument is rationalization of the airline industry - MEGA mergers of airlines into very few carriers.
But in another argument Qantas needs to have Jet* around (and every other crappy offshoot they have through Asia) to survive.
Jet* domestic will survive and thrive. (because it is protected by QF, which is in turn protected by Jet*) It will grow to include the shorter international routes to SE Asia but that is all. (like QF Mainline SH operates)
Jet* Intl will be dead and buried as soon as Dixon leaves.
