I distinctly remember QF making a big song and dance about splitting the reporting of QF DOM nad QF INT a bunch of years back. Increased accountability of some spin like that. Of course the immediate question of why that doesn't apply a,so to JQ was never answered.

I suspect this was the reason for the spilt back when they did it a bunch of years ago.

I don't know about this but I recall a bunch of years ago The Cutest of Borg demonstrating that the pax numbers for 'JQ international' included their NZ domestic airline so the numbers have always been open to manipulation.
