Spot on! Sorry to say it, but reckon QF is all but done. Myopic preoccupation with growing Jetstar and neglecting Qantas will soon be seen for the folly it is.

On September 29, 2010 – ‘BA, American Airlines and Iberia signed off on a strategic alliance that will see them cooperate on flights between Europe and North America.’ Timeline available from: Timeline: BA/Iberia in profit as merger nears | Reuters

When Australian principal place of business regulations are enacted, expect BA & AA will ‘find reason’ to walk away from JSA agreements with QF.

Consequence - QF no longer be ‘competitive’ to the UK & US.

Jetstar will come to the rescue. Memorial Service will be held for Qantas.

Root Cause! Failure to include Qantas in BA's ITA initiatives.
