T to B
For what its worth, I was involved on the periphery with the set-up of JQ international (consultant) and can tell you that - at least from what i was involved in (aircraft and related svcs) - there werent a whole lot of favours given by QF to JQ. Based on the bencmarking we did they're paying pretty fair rates for things sourced from the mother ship (at least at that time).
Mate I can't agree with you there. I have to deal with the short comings of the Jet * Internantional A330 handling contract (maintenance) on a daily basis. The cost of a transit done by qf including sup checks etc is approx a third the price of any of the stations/ports visited for just a transit. The price was forced upon us from a very high level
well below cost !
