This entire thread simply confirms my earlier postings to the effect that Qantas is going to lose its entire investment in the Jetstar Asian model. The simple reason is that Asians won't let foreigners make a profit off other Asians in their home countries if they can help it. The sad tale of Japanese skulduggery is a perfect example. Now multiply this same behaviour in every facet of your Asian business and guess what happens.
Jetstar and Qantas should have known this because it has been common knowledge since at least 1935. Mr. Packer and Crown Casinos has recently also made this same discovery the hard way.
