Some pax are forced onto JQ in the absence of QF service but most VFR pax purchase decisions are based purely on price.
Not true of all pax, I do not fly much now I am retired but my Wife does regularly.
As per the first part of your quote she has only ever flown JQ once when there was no QF flight, ALWAYS flies QF as long as there is a flight.
Most times she books well ahead and seeks the lowest price but ONLY on QF, a lot of that is as I believe she is safer on QF, have had her for nearly 45 years and don't want to lose her.
Anyway, got to go watch the Ashes Cricket now, bye..............
