However if you were to spin off a lot of your airline growth into an airline that sits somewhere between a full service carrier and a LCC, it would be as good as, if not better than what airlines like EK offer as a regional product.

That airline would not be subject to the Qantas Sales Act, and could be taken over.

EK has a range of products in service, not every aircraft is kitted out like the new A380s. Their older "regional" 2 class aircraft are not as good at the Jetstar product on the A330. However the seats on the aircraft are only just a part of the overall experience as you mentioned.
