Lies, damned lies, and statistics...

Jetstar International has been gifted all of the intl flying ex PER and OOL and much of it ex MEL. They are acheduled to depart less than half an hour, often five minutes, before every Qantas service from SIN. The first departure gets priority on all of the booking sites. Yet they always have scores fewer passengers.

QF meanwhile has been hamstrung by idiotic schedules, routes via Dubai, an EK codeshare that is so skewed in favour of EK that we might as well not even bother. (Thanks, Joyce).

Oh...last year JQ lost $116 million. QF Intl was cash flow positive, and now that the looter executives have fixed the (fraudulent?) book values of aircraft is again profitable. So JQ's plan seems to be to lose a liitle money on every seat in the plane yet some how make it up with volume? Aaaaaamaaaaazing!
