The only reason that Jetstar loads are at 77.8% is because the punters are FORCED to fly with them. Frequently, there is NO alternative.
It has been said again and again, the passengers DETEST Jetstar. HATE them. More than we as crew do. But they have no choice.
But unfortunately, with the mismanagement of the company, Jetstar will never be close to death. They will continue to leach off Mainline, and management will continue to spin.
Disgusting world we live in. I sometimes cannot believe the way my fellow human beings behave.
