There would be 50+ staff on each HNL flight with nil yield. So the final passenger load has little reflection on a revenue point of view.
This is another incorrect statement.
I don't have a dog in this often emotive QF vs JQ fight but I think its worthy calling out blatant untruths.
Staff travellers are irrelevant. (In any case, there are less than 20 staff total trying to get to HNL today....
But none of them will get on the JQ flights unless there are some commercial no-shows.
There are ZERO commercial seats available on today's JQ HNL flights! (Try making a booking on any number of travel websites if you don't believe
)
I believe the dual brand strategy is probably working very well for the QF group.
