I'll go one step further & predict that JQ ops will be an A320 operation only within a few years.
AJ & Co are about the only airline executives on this planet that believe LCC can make money on long haul Widebody operations.
Air Asia X retreated from Europe & redeployed to Australia where they can make some coin from the high Aussie dollar.
Scoots a tit for tat reaction to AJ's wet dream of sending JQ wide bodies to Asia.
BB saw the writing on the wall & packed his bags for the Skin Cream industry where the customers & investors can see positive results.
Hrdlicka's just declared to the Aviation Industry at large that she'd rather be packing school lunches & stuck in the school drop off line than playing hardball in Asia.
A hook up with Emirates might force AJ to change his view as to how to run an airline with two great brands. Or is that now three airlines with two great brands, oh hold on. I missed Jetconnect make that four.
