except for maybe Qantas who have also sustained a profitable business in bad times...... maybe it hasn't been so badly managed afterall.

Although you make a good point, Qantas did have a free kick since the demise of Ansett. I thought J* was a good move domestically but strongly believe the J* model long haul does not suit all the traditional Q punters hence the slow decline in mainline market share internationally, accelerating since the implication of J* international routes.
