I think with all thats going on EBA wise at the moment ( payrises etc ) that any form of promotion will likely be on Jetstar type terms, ie: Qantas has further reductions in services but aircraft and flying get shuffled over to the Star. They won't be able to crew it from anywhere else BUT mainline.
Shame really. And Harbison is a GOOSE!!

I don't belive for one minute than QANTAS will be dead in six months, but it may be a much leaner operation.
JNB frequency will probably be reduced, LAX-JFK will be axed (How full is the 744 from LAX-JFK?) BUE is on dodgy ground, as are the FRA flights and at least one flight a day from SYD to LHR will go to Jetstar (probably to LGW or STN)
Additional A330's will go to Jetstar to cover for the non apperance of the B787, and Jetstar will pick up some Saturday afternoon / Early Sunday morning services on the BNE-SYD-MEL triangle, as well as MEL-ADL off peak services 7 days a week.

I doubt Qantas will be dead in 6 months. If they are becoming so, the government sure wouldn't allow it to become under. Afterall, it is the nation's national carrier. The government would surely step in to help.

Harbison is a ******...
Qantas dead in 6 months and J* saving the world(despite contributing less than 10% of earnings-Aus FIN review) naturally no mention of the cost of the J* model..
Change hands peter

Reality Check
How many aircraft does Jet* International have?How many destinations?
Jet* is not currently in a position to do much of anything
If QF falls over who is going to prop up JetStar?
Qantas is going to have a long and healthy life.So lets all calm down

Nothing is sure. None of us knows what the future will bring.
Who forecast this economic collapse? Nobody. Then who the hell can forecast when a recovery will take place if indeed there will be one, or who knows a way to instigate a recovery?

Qantas Will Never Die
There is no way the Government will let QANTAS collapse............
Think about the volume of travellers there are on any given day flying interstate. There will not be enough capacity to cater to the demands of the flying public if QANTAS folds. It's as simple as that.
If QANTAS goes under, so will the economy.
ANSETT was a different story; the government new that there was no need for two major airlines in Australia and that there would be sufficient travel infrastructure with one major Aussie Carrier.

if QF does go under, im sure VB, Tiger, Air NZ, United, BA, and others will fill the gaps in capacity quite rapidly.

Not that I think they will either but never say never in the business world. Do a search for a few months before Ansett went broke - they posted a profit the year before they went broke, and were proclaiming a 'war chest' of millions of dollars as well didn't seem to exist! And lots of regulars on here were proclaiming it would never happen either.
I still proclaim that they plan to run QF into the ground and prop it all up in the form of transferring work over to JQ all on their payrates etc. Once QF is nearly 'ground' up as it stands and JQ is huge and a massive low cost base - then part of Jetstar could rename to the 'new' Qantas. They can't make people transfer to JQ on lower wages - but if they are made redundant from a bleeding QF then it's that or nothing.
I could be wrong - but it is a rumour network!
