As for your focus on efficiencies I would have to agree. I've always said that Jetstar, Qantas and Qlnik Engineers should be working from the one smoko room helping each other during quiet times. They'd use one combined set of tooling, one management/support structure and eventually one wage agreement.
What a sterling idea! Qantas Group Engineering and Mantainence Services here we come. This gem would literally save squillions, cost a lot less to run and certainly offer Ts and Cs that are inferior to those on offer. Could only be good for the financial well-being and survival of Qantas.
