There are rumours circulating that things are grim in Singapore from pilots flying around Asia. A couple of years ago Jetstar Asia was being propped up by Jetstar in Australia to the tune of 20 million per year. Anecdotal evidence suggests the new Jetstar 787 service from Brisbane to Bali is bleeding big time with sub 100 passenger loads being the norm.
My wife showed me a competition on facebook being run by that organisation. It was to win free credit by posting your favourite holiday photo.
I did not see one holiday photo in the posts that I read, just angry holidayers bagging out the company and vowing never to fly them again.
I would personally prefer to fly full fare with another carrier to a few destinations given the options. I know many of my colleagues do as well. However I have heard a few say the 787 is a better travelling experience.
Maybe they should put a couple of QF A330's on the Bali run each week to test the waters.
