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.
Agreed with most of that except BB was sacked. Joyce handed BBs head on a platter to the board. BB was stabbed by his mate, Joyce, and took the fall for all of Joyce's poor decisions. It gave the Irishman about 8 months to save his reputation - not his job.
AJ & co are now very aware of the limits of the jetstar model. However they will prob need something with a bigger range, than the 320, to link up Asia
