Capt Bloggs
only place JQ use QF now is YPPH and all that happens there is things go slower, get messed up more often and I would expect actually costs more.

toolish,
I think you'll find he's talking about intl ops....from what i gather everything else you say is correct.
It'll be interesting to see what they do for the new intl gold coast ops...

Looking at some of the seat selector maps for GoldCoast-Osaka, only 1.5months out and found countless flight that have only 1 or 2 seats selected.........

Uhoh!

Give us the last quarter of Jetstar, suffice to say it would be crap, Glory days over boys! Time to get a real job! At the end of the day with all the overload advertising its a pathetic profit, Qantas brings in the big bucks not some yarpie ridden cess pit with a star on the tail!

Its The Culture Stupid

Japanese travellers do not like Low Cost Carriers.
No matter where the carrier flies to.
Many Japanese consider JetStar to be an insult.
The only way Jetstar seat loads look resonable is the selling of Qantas tickets on a Jetstar Service.
When the travellers turn up with their QF ticket and find a Jetstar Aircraft....to say they're unhappy is an understatement.
Their travel agent cops a mouthful when they return home.
There is now a reluctance by travel agents to sell either JetStar tickets or QF codeshare tickets.
Lets see the breakdown of JetStars Revenue and Costs.
How many seats did Qantas buy on Jet*Aircraft.
How much freight was carried by Jet*?
Are these the figures for Jet* Domestic or the entire Jet* operation?.
Provide a breakdown for the two operations.
International Ops contribution would have been minimal and largely propped up by cost apportioning.
This is all acounting smoke and mirrors.
LCC carriers are predicated on low fuel costs(around $80/barrel and low wages and selling ancillaries on board
The current figures for this financial year will see Jet* bleeding red ink.
It is the low end of the travelling spectrum that contracts first during an economic downturn.
The effects of the sub prime meltdown and interest rate rises have not been fully felt in Australia.
It ain't gonna be pretty for the next three years.
The demand for red and white paint is going to increase exponentially over this period.

More Bang for Your Buck

The Japanese Economy is contracting.There less Japanese travelling.Those that are travelling want more bang for their buck.
LCCs just dont do that.
Legacy Carriers do...blankets,headsets,food,water and movies are all included in the price.
Have a look on the respective websites...there is a bees dick between Jet Star and Qantas(in price) and it doesnt factor in all the extra onboard costs of JetStar.
