From discussions with airport managers, passengers and Japanese tour group operators - most Japanese pax do not like Jstar - its just that QANTAS management is forcing pax onto Jstar by reducing the alternative options (its really quite ironic that Jstar say its all about choice when in reality it is the opposite).
Premium pax are pissed off. Japanese pax are pissed off. QF staff are pissed off.....who is the winner? Jetstars figures? Well as we have seen (Capt Kremin) even they are rubbery at best.
Its amazing how an iconic brand as QF can go from one of trusted safety - a rock solid brand - to now - a distrusted brand where of all things (if nothing else at QF) the MAIN thing - SAFETY is questioned, and without a doubt has been compromised by greedy people.
