The only problem I see with that is it assumes Jetstar takes over the Jetconnect customer base but that probably wouldn't happen, many of the customers would go to Air NZ or another major carrier. You mentioned EK but they don't have the frequency to suit trans Tasman passengers. They could run more flights I guess but it's hard to imagine it's worth getting more of their widebody aircraft tied up on 3 hour sectors. I think Jetconnect will stay. It fits with the leaner operation they are aiming for and is also potentially useful in the future for larger aircraft on longer routes with a lower cost base.
