Getting back on track I hope that we get back into Paris but I doubt it will happen.If it does it will be Jetstar.
The airline has got it's wedge with the jetstar.Look at some of the posts with V Australia and what they are paying crew.
Within a few years QF will be doing London,Los Angeles,maybe New York still,Hong Kong and maybe Frankfurt but I wouldn't be holding my breath.Why would they be wanting Paris?
They might want the slots for Jetstar but not for us.
no-one claimed crew costs were ever a factor in this discussion
Don't kid yourself indamiddle,this is all about money.They got us with QCCA but they still have QF tech crew on their pay scales.So Jetstar is looking the goods for any new port including Paris.Once they get their foot in the door with Paris Jetstar will be over Europe like a rash.I think that if you look at the Jetstar route maps in a few years it will look like QF's network in the 60's and early 70's.
