Camel Squadron I always find your submissions refreshingly facile.
Your logic equates the
potential revenue from additional (often unsold) J class seats to the
actual, rising costs of fuel. By that logic you could ignore every other legacy cost as well since you claim additional, unproven revenue will more than offset it, too.
Further, by your logic, QF would be well advised to keep its current 747 fleet flying-indeed add more cheap airframes. That would have to be better than paying expensive lease costs on A380s
Rather than employ so many consultants perhaps it is time for Qantas to instead become the consultants to the rest of the industry: CamelSquadron can make millions in extra revenue showing those other guys the error of their (profitable) ways.
