Qantas Group, China and the New Air Services Agreement

Under the new Air Services Agreement between Australia and China there is a major increase in seat capacity. I am of the belief that we will not see Qantas Mainline increase flights to China as management will deem them to be too expensive so Jetstar will fill operate these flights instead (code sharing with Qantas). This will give Qantas management a perfect opportunity to commence Jetstar China with Chinese crew to operate these flights. The question is - will these crew then operate domestically?

no kangaroo in that dim sim

1. Refer Mel press club address by Joyce Mar 2011 where he stated that locating assets offshore was not ruled out. (think he means a/c not management unless refering to future review where a jurisdiction with no extradition treaty may be needed in a hurry)

2. Again note that all of the QF route approvals can be flexed to JQ or another majority owned subisdiary...and.....that means more of their [allegedly repositioning] 'tag flights' such as the SIN DRW MEL fiascos.

3. Aviation freedoms are givens in all bi-laterals (except for smarter countries that know the outbound loss always exceeds the inbound economic multipler)

4. China is the key target to make our soggy GDP look better BUT....not under the terms of the JQ shonky sell off the farm franchise.

5. Put it on your desk calendars:
"Safety, Comfort and Convenience" will be the next wave of marketing pitches ......... sadly everything JQ is not and everything that is being gutted from QF

AT

oh and don't forget that the JQ Mission posters STILL have $afety listed as the $ECOND PRIORITY behind performance (sic profit)

Seems that the Rat has to decide whether it wants the privileges that have and continue to flow its way from being premier Australian carrier OR whether they want to be just another international carrier flying in Australia.

Cannot see how they can have it both ways.

About time some international premium carriers who want the Australian market should be allowed to show their wares.

There is way too much deception in the Rats/Crapstar behaviour for my liking.

Let them have their way and treat them accordingly.
