Ryanair/Easy Jet/ Air Asia already do that. Air Asia run subsidiary companies under the brand Air Asia. ie Air Asia Indonesia etc.

Jetstar are just trying to replicate these businesses, only they could go broke doing it!

Extract from Wikipedia

"On 1 December 2005, Jetstar commenced operations from Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and the Gold Coast to Christchurch in New Zealand. On 7 December 2005, it was announced that Jetstar would establish the world's first global low-cost airline. At the end of 2005, it was announced that Jetstar would fly to Perth, from Avalon Airport."

I may be mistaken but got my info from this article.

2005 Wiki article?
Great research there man.......and those routes and bases are truly International ( if you live in any other part of the world other than Australia )
Good work
...... Now do a search on, say, Virgin

I think he's just a young Jet* turkey who believes the hype, and who has no clue how the Japanese system works
Poor bloke
If he'd have lived there, or worked there, then perhaps he'd be less defensive on the QANTAS money laundering over this doomed operation
My take on this is JAL is grasping at straws, our gay leader is a sucker for Suzuki san's saki, and we'll end up paying through our declining conditions

Although (apart from the obvious) I don think BGA is a sucker for anyone's trinkets. I just think he is grossly incompetent and throwing money at anything hoping something pays off. Like an increasingly drunk sailor with a shore pass gambling wildly by throwing everything on red, then black, then red again.

It is insane behaviour...

Pilots are leaving after broken promises and returning to JAL. Apparently 7 A320s are parked at Narita costing thousands per day in fees. All is not well with the LCC model. Expansion without pilots is very difficult to achieve and the extra dollars is probably to keep the show on the road rather than expand as indicated.

Easy solution! Pay them more (which probably means proper/average salary)

Haven't they got another 2000 A320's on order?

I was a fan of refusing to go back to work after BGA shut the place down. I would have (if worst came to worst) preferred to have put the horse down than to be the jockey forced to ride it with a broken leg.

He is killing the airline. Either 'we' decide when it dies or he kills it. Otherwise we are merely Jews being loaded into cattle trucks by the Nazi's hoping things will be better in the holiday camps.

I would rather be in charge and hold the cards. Anyone with half a brain knows what is happening, question is, are we prepared to write our own (and the future of the airline's) destiny, or will we die a miserable death....

Apparently in Japan they don't need Pilots or passengers either. They just sit there.

I'm wondering what Jacana could have said that is more offensive than V-jet's remarks.

Care to edit, V-jet?

I find it hilarious that a LCC be based out of Narita of all places no one wants to go to Narita to travel domestically, maybe if they did some regional flights but domestically it's almost comical....
