Rumour 1 Dixon is leaving,well I guess he will the only question is when
although a lot of us would prefer it sooner rather than later
Rumour 2 Is (would) QF going to sell Jetstar to Tiger?
Since Tiger is SIA in another guise then you would have to wonder
why.Unless the rumours are true and J* is not actually making
money but then if you look at the real purpose of J* I doubt it.

Joyce how in hell is he going to grow mainline, he has been gifted everything form mainline. Original ideas, hardly...More likely more of the same.
Get Gordon Bethune, vision and integrity.
Post Dixon we will see just what the contribution margin of J* actually is.
Not by release of figures, but likely a repositioning of assets.
My hunch is that as a brand it has little impact, its cost however another tihng.

All of this is very subjective of coarse and with the industry in a constant state of flux it may have all changed by the time I finish typing this but my employer and subsequently myself are both very confident Jetstar will be sold off and they wont be getting the 787. They will remain to grow and be a fairly big player in the region but not necessarily with Qantas by their side, it may turn out to be someone with a distinct Asian flavor who is also heavily into Airbuses

I personally wouldn't give much credence to the idea of QF selling J*.
If there was any possibility of a sale to SIA/Tiger then I would ask does it only relate to the Singapore based operation? Possbly with a wet lease arrangement ie combine Oragestar and Tiger Singapore into one AOC a bit like AirNZ did with Zeal operating SJ and NZ.
IF Sinpapore is lose making, J* could pull out of a Singapore base once the Vietnam and Darwin bases comes online.

Jetstar are actually selling Qantas to Tiger!
But I don't think so Buster,because I don't think I have to remind you what happened last time an Australian Iconic airline was sold to another overseas airline....
...But let's not open that book up again...

Jetstar are lots of things, but they are in no way 'iconic', well not yet anyway, let's see what the future holds....

Howard..I'm glad you saw a post that you thought funny but....
I was referring to Buster's sardonic post that Jetstar was going to sell Qantas and not the other way around...
Qantas is the iconic airline I was referring to...

Logic?
Dixon set up Jetstar to try and keep other airlines from seizing an opportunity to fill a niche section of the Oz airline market - in particular make it difficult for SQ to set up an operation in Oz. It would then be stupidity to sell Jetstar to the SQ subsidiary (Tiger) as it would give them a large market share that is essentially routes gifted to Jetstar from mainline. ie It would be selling mainline routes to SQ via a middle man, and it would come complete with aircraft and crew. Not f........n likely.
