Single seat layout all economy getting more punters per flight
If the 738s were single layout they would have 174 seats so hardly a compelling argument
Higher crew productivity ( and very simple training pipeline) due single type
Simplified work rules allowing higher overall labour productivity
The short haul award is one of the most efficient awards going around

Shorter turn times and much higher aircraft utilization
Based on what information? Where is it written?

Handling innovations such as the power push back with a single person
Virgin were the innovators

“B” scale labour rules without union interference
Just drivel

Use of second-tier airports
Avalon and Maroochy yes, but every other port Jetstar go to they use aerobridges and often at the expense of mainline

I could go on, but you should stop quoting from the "how to run an airline" book because it the same spin that makes you really think you made over $100million ths year
