A bit of digging reveals who is doing this for Qantas.

GAAM, Fly Lease
Now to some fancy flying by a stellar cast of local investors who have been the force behind the country’s second-biggest aircraft leasing business Global Aviation Asset Management and have now managed to sell it to US-listed FLY Leasing for $US1.4 billion. FLY is the former Babcock and Brown aviation leasing business and boasts former B&B execs Trevor Lowensohn and Phil Brown as its advisors. The merry cast at GAAM cashing in on the deal include former Qantas boss Geoff Dixon, his former CFO and former Leighton CFO Peter Gregg, former Allco boss David Coe, John Singleton and private equity investor Mark Carnegie.

He said that the company is aiming to maintain a 20 per cent share of the Asia Pacific low-cost carrier market and might need to have as much as 400 aircraft by 2020.
"The total (fleet size of) the low-cost carrier market (in Asia-Pacific) is about 450 aircraft today and we envisage it to grow to in excess of 2000 aircraft by the end of the decade," he said on the sideline of a media briefing in Singapore.
"To maintain 20 per cent market share by 2020, we need about 400 aircraft," Buchanan added without elaborating when the carrier will start making orders of those aircraft.

Who will lease the aircraft to the "Qantas Group". If it is not GAAM it will subsidiary of GAAM.
The picture becomes clearer. The big money is going to be made in the leasing of this 400 aircraft growth. This is why they need to abandon the international operations, to use the money to leverage into this massive growth.
The "Qantas Group" already appears to be controlled by GAAM. Has the "takeover" already occurred via this mechanism?

It just doesn't make sense.
Has Geoff really left the building or is he a distant puppet master pulling the strings from afar?
In today's business climate you would think the penny would drop with these strategist running the show, they should have woken up to this fact, airlines are a "people business" which requires motivated people. Being negative all the time has become "more of the same" for the staff and the companies customers regarding declining service levels.
People who live in SE Asia see Jetstar as a cheap version of Qantas anyway, the reality is, that's the way the Jetstar brand is sold in the travel agencies so why is it that the Q management need to give Jetstar priority over the Qantas brand?
It's daft!

Blind Freddie can see there is an intent to drive the QF brand down, I mean just look at all their aircraft! They are an embarrassment, obviously excluding some of the newer A330 and 737 and A380, (but almost everyone knows the A380 is a dud economically) There is a spider web of different interests here and I believe they are up to something as mentioned in the previous posts.
On the flip side I have heard about the Yen Men on the Narita runs and I actually travelled on the QF22 last week in business and all I can say it was woeful.. I had to pick my main meal selection about 4 minutes after I got to my seat and I needed to call an attendent for all of my 3 wine refills, the service was done and dusted in about an hour and did not see anyone for the next 5 hours (gone to bed) Then the flight attendant turned up with breakfast and poked me awake with no speech and waited for me to groggily get my seat organised while she shoved the tray down and rushed off.
I can easily say my next domestic flight out of Sydney was much more pleasant with the shorthaul cabin crew, a breath of fresh air.
I am not having a go at the senior longhaul cabin crew personally I just believe it is a symptom of QF's management disrespecting their employees and it is showing on the front line. AJ needs to go, he has basically done nothing, have a look at Air NZ and see how a great CEO operates mate!
Anyway thats my 3 Yens worth, still think something very fishy is going on behind the scenes, stay united pilots and dont cave in on their rumours!

QF22 Crews
A good many of the crews on the QF22 are AKL based.
They are paid poorly and very overworked with little time at home.
Last time I operated this flight one of the CC was asleep on the jumpseat before we rotated.
Safety report written.
Shorthaul CC do not suffer the same fatigue levels as Longhaul.
Dont misunderstand.They work very hard but dont suffer from accumulated jet lag.
Qantas has LHR base and AKL base crews who are being exploited just like JetStar Cabin Crew.
It is very difficult to motivate people who are treated poorly,underpaid,undervalued and overworked

Key words are:
treated poorly,underpaid,undervalued and overworked
What is even more galling is to read is that Darth is back with his claw around the neck of the Rat.
This whole sorry mess is pathetic in the extreme. As one pax said to me yesterday when getting off a LAX -SYD sector.
Good Luck guys...........you're gonna need it

If the Boyz are back lets hope or make sure the corporate cops are on the job with some serious will to expose these events.
There will be no stopping the outcry for round two if it ever happens.

BuL .....
No .
The 744 might cruise ... maaybe .01 faster than the A380, the big killer is that the A380 can climb higher ... which for an equivalent mach number means that the cruise is slower. (it is reeeellllyy nice being able to climb above the pack) ..
For every situation, there are advantages and disadvantages ...

Could this be a connection?
Forgive me if this has been posted before somewhere else but I find this interesting,
Colonial buys 22.7m Qantas Airways shares | Business Spectator
which incidentally is part of the Commonwealth Bank. The thought did cross my mind, could this have anything to do with Sir Ralph Norris who has announced his departure from the CBA later this year? I know this is a wild shot but there is a connection on the Qantas board.... I wonder...
