And also parallels between jetstar and what happened to GO.
Which should be a worry to QF pilots, GO was BA's Jetstar. Considered to be a parasite on mainline yields it was sold to a VC firm who later sold it on to easyjet. Easyjet now dominates BA in the European short-haul market, BA short-haul is mere shadow of its' former self at LGW (they will shortly push BA out of the North Terminal). BA Regional is extinct and BA SH at Heathrow is under massive pressure to yield yet more cost-savings to stem the orange tide under a vague threat of the parent group (IAG) bringing Vueling in to fly the routes in BA branded aircraft.

Be careful what you wish for.
