Is Jetstar hurting the Qantas Brand?

When I underwent a TAA induction, circa 1978, as best I can remember I was told that if TaaTaas had their way, Caravelles would have been used from the late 50's early 60's. Serveral years ahead of the 72.

Kanga767 Claret et al, you touch on a most fascinating part of our aviation history which goes to very the root of why we are where we are today and why we still have a superannuated fleet of GA piston twins and singles in RPT/charter and the coporate turbine fleet is so small.
Post colonial cringe, the motherland and British is Best = the only way we can sell our whizbang123 is to give it away with free finance too.
Thank God Qantas and Ansett dug their heels in.

I seem to remember reading something about Caravelles and TAA too. That slipped my mind. Crickey!! Caravelles and tridents. Lucky they never looked at the Mercure nor BAC 111s!
With regard to attractive deals subsidised by governments, some would argue that the company that grew from those that made these fine machines are still doing it today, 40 years later.
oops!, sorry moderators, off topic. Well, I guess the Caravelle was the original regional jet!!
