Why do the J* A320 fleet need renewing????
They're only a few years old. Certainly nowhere near the age of QF 767s or 737-400s that make up the bulk of the domestic operation.
How can these geniuses justify an extravagant expense to keep the blue singlet and thongs brigade happy, while the premium customers are flying around in 20 year old ****boxes?
And don't tell me anything about yield management crap or returning the cost of capital blah blah blah....,,,
The QF branded domestic operation posted the biggest profit of any segment of the company, that includes J* and the frequent flyer scheme. Won't be for long though if it continues to be treated with contempt and receive no funding.
