The biggest risk to Jetstar, is not coming from how hard the multiple Qantas group CEO's work.
The larger risk is the September EK/QF merger deal which didn't have any Jetstar branding in sight.

It will be how cost are apportioned between group companies.
Already happening between LH & SH Mainline fleets. Hotel accommodation & allowances correctly apportioned.

Jetstar's future domestic growth will be dependant upon the amount of money Singapore is willing to 'invest in/grow' Tiger. Remember in the low cost segment, he who has the lowest cost wins in the end. As for Jetstar's international ops, success will be dependant on how willing QF continues to be to support the various entities if the competition makes it difficult.
That QF support will depend on Tim Clark's view of the global aviation scene. He was the competition.

I smell bad news heading jetstars way.
I reckon AJ asked JH to fill the JQ CEO role cause no other players were champing at the bit to fill it. The interviews went on to outline how surprised JH was with the job offer & how she asked AJ if she could take some time to think about the offer. LS has been around, he's got LC on his side he was a shoe in for the LH or SH business CEO. Simon Hickey was making coin for the Qantas Group as CEO Frequent Flyer. Both LS & SH were known entities around Qantas. When the new CEO for JQ was announced people were saying Jayne who?
