U got to spend a dollar to make a dollar!
Here we go again,whinge whinge whinge-Qantas market share is declining because they basically go nowhere that the general travelling public want to go to,they could easily have used their own A330-200,s to start and grow some markets instead of leasing(giving) them to Jetstar.If Jetstar had to get their aircraft from a non-subsidised leasing company it would be interesting to see their financial results.
Instead of bleating and crying,it is time for the management to get out in the real world,listen to what the travelling public is telling them and respond to the market by providing regular reliable service to new destinations and even if it doesnt make a profit of more than 100%,at least there is opportunity there to grow instead of retreating from basically every market they get some competition in.
The other carriers take risks-time for QANTAS to take some risks and make some decent decisions.
