17years out of 91 is Legacy ay.....
Anyways my point is the face of QANTAS has changed and will continue to change. For people to harp on with "mainline bought this, mainline bought that, it's mainlines money" is a bit farcical.
Mainline is 2/8 (9) of qantas' shop front business. It provides 1/2 of all profits but consumes, until recently, 70% of all capital.
AJ is officially nuts. 1/2 the profit, in a downturn in the Asia pacific region. What about the billion dollar profits during the upturn. Market share has dropped a few %, along with an increase in OS capacity. But has the market not grown? Are not load factors still on the increase?
Please please please AJ don't force me to fly BA...... You are just going to kill international if you do.
