the cabin crew dude in my sector was one of those in your face blokes, always wanting to be the centre of attention.
Dude....?

In your face.....wanting to be the centre of attention....?

Can you expand on that Pedota?
When you look at the routes, the market divides and none of the corporate market travels with Jetstar
You don't need to have experience sitting on a board to know that that would happen.....
Joyce said he didn't see price completely dominating the market:
It may not dominate the market but it undeniably dominates the board room decisions we see....
And there is a premium market and we'll never walk away from it and we don't have to compromise on it.

" We can continue to invest in both, and we're continuing to invest in the Qantas premium product, because we believe absolutely there is a market that's willing to pay a premium for a Qantas brand
Yes,you can invest but are you?

It's easy to say you are investing in the mainline or premium product but the question should be 'how much is that investment in comparison to the money spent on the Jetstar product?'

The allocation of the 787's is a case in point....is one segment of the group getting priority over the other?

The appearance and seating of the 767's,IFE on the 400's and advertising are also worthy of mention ....

Perhaps if the same priority,energy and finance allocated to Jetstar was given to mainline the picture of the group would be different...

The question about 'how would Jetstar do if it was a stand alone airline' has been asked countless times.However,we will never know the exact position and real contribution Jetstar makes to the group profit simply because it will never be told...
