JQ Business Class
Heard on the grapevine today that JQ are to introduce Business Class on all aircraft domestically very soon. Also QF FF points on ALL JQ tickets sold as well, not just the full JetFlex fares.
This is QF's answer to DJ. Tart up the LCC. I hope I am wrong, but the source of the rumour is very reliable.
"JQ will NEVER cannabilse mainline services."
REALLY???

Only on the grapevine ?
You should see their website, no such thing as Starclass (RIP) anymore
Business Class | Jetstar
It'll be interesting to watch when the trolley dollies do the 40 meter sprint through the cabin during the 'service'. Unless there is a major culture change at the pointy end...
5 more years and the long held prophecies will come to pass.

Qantas domestic being the only part of Qantas currently making money it stands to reason that management would try and kill it off by creating a Jetstar business class.

Has anyone got Alan Joyce's mum's number? Her son is not well. He's a bit confused by the sounds of things...
Qantas attacks Virgin Blue's strategy | News.com.au
SENIOR Qantas executives have taken a veiled swipe at rival Virgin Blue, saying any airline with a "middle of the road strategy" is destined for failure.
Qantas chief executive Alan Joyce says his group's two-brand approach, with full-service Qantas and low-cost offshoot Jetstar, gave the company a unique advantage over other carriers.
He said a clearly differentiated product meant customers knew what they were getting and what they were paying for.
"I'm a firm believer that the middle of the road strategy is not a great strategy," Mr Joyce told the Australia Pacific Aviation Outlook Summit in Sydney yesterday.
"You could end up as roadkill if you sit in the middle of the road for too long.
"I think it is important for you to really define and focus on what your customers are after and what you are trying to deliver to them, and I think with Jetstar and Qantas we do that."
The comments came a day after Virgin Blue commercial executive Liz Savage used the same podium to say her airline wanted to double its 10 per cent share of the corporate travel market dominated by Qantas over the next year.
Ms Savage said the middle ground was "a great place to be" as the majority of customers were there.
However, Jetstar chief executive Bruce Buchanan said at the conference any airline that sought the middle ground would end up battling the two Qantas brands.
"We think trying to be all things to all people is a really tough place to be," Mr Buchanan said.....

Sure it goes a bit against the pure LCC model but not by much and hey, presto! You have your feeder network for your long-hauls.
