Hey! Great idea. Lets use JETSTAR to pick up the slack.
So on the ground, what are we talking at the major ports? Three, maybe four Jetstar A320s (with their own prebookings) to pick up the slack of five or six 737s, 767s, A330s? What hours have the crew already worked? Jetstar already run on the smell of an oily rag irt crew hours and aircraft movements, even a fog throws them into chaos. It's not like they've got a spare fleet with crew standing by to cover the excess.
