Jeez!!!
Am I the dumb one???
Qantas gifted J* the routes etc etc etc.
Who 'owns' Jetstar?
The lease payments are a bonus - and a biggie I grant you, but a bonus.
Jetstar is then 'given' to EK who will compete with an undercapitalised and incompetent (in addition to EK friendly) management 'team' at QF.
Who is getting the money for the EK gift?
This is the greatest theft from the Australian taxpayer that has ever been perpetrated.
