To sub 2 of them for a 380; that makes for a lot of J seats to get that yield. Possible pipe dream... Just hope they don't totally fork the company 5th Nov 2017 05:10
Sadly that ship may have sailed, the push of JQ to the max has had little tangible impact. None of their franchises return anything and JQ Asia is still hidden in JQ segment. Share your sentiment regarding J yield. Who remember Red Q, an airline to be based in Singapore, err no Malaysia err...
JQ HK, an airline in one of the world's most expensive cities, lacking the necessary requisites to meet the law of the land with respect to ownership, then partnered with Stanley and Patsie, perhaps not the best company to keep. Hastily abandoned and never spoken of again.
Dubai cost QF lots of passengers, BITRE data shows it clearly, a nett loss of circa 400,000 passengers from QF metal in the first year. No change to any revenue, as indicated on another thread, it appears that Qantas got nothing..Now a return to Singapore is seen as an advance?
A three billion bailout, then a recanting, only to be 'transformed' and no media ask the question, was this the same Qantas that was 'terminal' in 2011? Personal riches from an interesting 'transformation' and no one, not even the regulator asks a cursory question.
The rising tide lifts all boats, hopefully the economy doesn't sag or a hasty refit of the 787 will be necessary...
The company I keep is asking the question is how long will Perth London exist, before 'customer preferences' re-route the aircraft to Singapore?
I applaud the audacity of Mr Joyce but many outside Australia are glad he is in charge at Qantas.
