Is that a breach of contract on behalf of QF?

People dont go and purchase a Lexus only to drive out in a Corolla.
JQ7/8 is not Jetstar asia, it's Jetstar International, therefore Australian registered ASFAIK.
When you get bumped down to Jetstar, you normally get food and amenities supplied, just like the jetstar punters that paid for that stuff in advance.
Tech crew are Aust based as is the purser.
Rest of the cabin crew are SIN based.

Yeah it's a 332 not a 388 and a 5 minute increase in planned flight time but not quite as bad as you make it out to be ga_trojan?
