“You wouldn't go to see a low cost heart surgeon would you?!”

Yes. If the surgeon provided surgery for lower cost, why not.

If a surgeon could trim the cost of an operation by reducing service such as no magazines in the waiting room, no validated car parking out back, fewer office staff at the counter, no free coffee, then why would you pay for the extras if you don’t want them?
That goes to show how little some people understand about cost structures....

Does the author really think that taking away magazines,coffee etc.....would have a significant impact on medical costs?

The main difference between the medical specialists and crew is that the medical specialists wouldn't undercut each other to get work.....

Also the comparison between the new LCC's and QF is as weak as you could get...

Let's wait until those new LCC's have operated for as long and extensively as QF has and then you can sit down and compare them on an incident basis....

The reality is that the LCC is not around to benefit the passenger.....

It's around to benefit the owners of the LCC....
