As I stated before, the gravy train is finished, kaput, over, the days in which I flew when PAX were expected to pay $400 bucks to Mel and 1,400 to DRW are over, finished, and I for one am glad QF owns JQ rather than Loose Rivet Airlines, or whoever. However you rate Dixon this was a good move despite the resentment from QF crew it had to happen. LCC'S are now the way of the world, and it won't be going back to the "good ol days" QF now has to find where it fits in this new world, does it continue as a "mainline" or does it become a "boutique" airline allowing the "joey" to do the bulk of the work and keeping the specialist bases eg: LAX and LHR? Times have changed and will continue to do so, PAX want only the cheapest and safest way to their destination, and the whole industry will have to bend to their wishes, interesting times ahead. Their needs are going to outway yours, so some turbulence up ahead as time goes on.
