This has shades of the artificial $300mil profit that Rod Eddington generated at Ansett, before News Corp sold its remaining share to Air New Zealand....
Except Ansett was sold to Air New Zealand, not just purely given away.
No Stalin UB, that would be the last thing they want.
QF is very parochial to Australia, they want a global airline brand which is why they came up with J*, a name which can be multinational. At least internationally, there is no incentive to change the name to QANTAS.
Seasons Greetings to all, safe flying.

My point was that Emirates won't deal with Jetstar due to not being a premium product so that would limit the potency of the network. Painted in QF colours tho, well that's another ball game!
I do agree tho with your sentiments if the satis quo remains and tunnel revision remains re Jetstar then you wouldn't bother branding it in QF colours. Qf's destiny is now in the hands of others so let's see what our new masters want.
Merry Christmas to all and lets hope next year can only get better!!
