Best to ask AJ what's new up there. If there are any jobs going.
Better still, ask the two 'kiddies' that now remain well protected behind a wall of secrecy and protection in Mascot!!

Hell, my calculator only has so many zeroes. Whats 2.5 trillion divided by 21,2800?

Not sure on the number system in use, 1trillion means different things to different people but it is at least $ 114 710 000. If Vietnam uses the longer system then chuck another 6 zeros in there, but that would seem a bit to large.

Pretty certain they use the American billion and trillion.
I'm surprised how much the Dong has depreciated. Not been there for years.
Then again as you get older, Dongs often do depreciate.

I think you will find that J/pacific is an "amaaaazing" business and it is really QF mainline losing the money.
Jetstar Vietnam lost $120M

Jetstar Asia:
"Dismal returns over 8 years"
Jetstar NZ:
The Qantas subsidiary is "coy on whether it is profitable in this country (NZ)"
Jetstar HKG:
"We are eyeing the mainland market within three years, around the point at which we expect Jetstar Hong Kong to become profitable (2016)"
Jetstar Japan:
Ms Hrdlicka would not say when she expected the Japanese joint venture to break even,
What an amaaaazing business!

Perhaps Herr Alan and Frau Hrdlicka will send the two kiddies back to Vietnam to run JQ once again? Hedging fuel is their specialty!

This.... From Ben Sandilands.
Jetstar slashes Singapore flights but is it a wider problem? | Plane Talking

One thing that i think has been missed in Jetstars 787 is the configuration of 314 seats. ANAs -8s operating long haul have 42 J class and 114 Y class. My own opinion is that people will go on the Jetstar 787 once unless they are small otherwise it will be to crammed for long flights. If im correct then i guess Qantas could pay to re configure them.
