Yes, yes, yes!
Sitting in US headquarters, Gerard Arpey has to be wondering what Qantas' CEO Alan Joyce is up to with Jetstar. From the perspective of the US airline industry, low-cost carriers affiliated with legacy airlines just don't work.
Delta Air Lines attempted a low-cost move with Song, moving 48 of its Boeing 757 planes into a subsidiary with a low-cost model to try to compete with new airlines like JetBlue. Song only lasted three years, from 2003 to 2006.
Finally, Clifford and AJ are on the nose with in the industry and it's long standing partner friend American Airlines. To the Australian business press reporters, put that in your pipe and smoke it! Spin that one Wirthless!

Ken B, sorry mate, I really don't agree with you, why do you want to protect people at Q who are happy to sack hard working people at a stroke of a pen? Sometimes it is best to say nothing. Your comments show disrespect to fellow Australians on here who are worried whether they will have a job or not after the 24th August. This simple fact doesn't seem to to bother you at all.
