Qantas will be dead in 6 months

[Gingerbread]

The difficulty with your view Puffy is that it doesn't take into account that:

Jetstar's success contributed but 10 per cent to Qantas Group earnings before interest and tax last year."

Murdering the Roo to save a potentially rising star is just too risky.

Much safer to push 'Joey' out of the pouch when it can fend for itself and set up a 'new world airline' that is much more capital efficient than both Qantas & Jetstar can ever hope to be.

In the big scheme of things, all this nasty industrial argy bargy, really is just small change.

No need to worry though - if AJ doesn't get it, ultimately the Government and the Shareholders will do it for him; unless of cource the global economy and the airline industry suddenly unexpectidly recover and things spring back to what they were.
