I’ll pin my career security & aspirations to your brilliant assertion above will I? No, I think not if you don’t mind.

Connections on the other end probably count. I remember Tiger Singapore said Perth was one it’s best performing routes profit wise. Yet Jetstar said it was one of its poorest performing. They have had issues making much in Asia work for a while now.

There’s no doubt that industrial action is expensive and frustrating but we have to hold the line on costs or it threatens the long term sustainability of our business,” Mr Evans said.

50 has a nice ring to it, doesn’t it? A good round number to send a strong message to all.
It’s been used before against pilots:
Being the type of people/adversaries they are, they weren’t going to take any action lying down. Stay calm and good luck.

The Stalag Luft III murders were war crimesperpetrated by members of the Gestapofollowing the "Great Escape" of Allied prisoners of war from the German Air Force prison camp known as Stalag Luft III on March 25, 1944. Of the 76 successful escapees 73 were recaptured, mostly within several days of the breakout, 50 of whom were executed on the personal orders of Adolf Hitler. These summary executions were conducted within a short period of recapture..

Over a decade of no tangible profit, other than some window dressing leases to cover substantive operating losses.
Grand strategy right there.
The Singaporeans quite rightly laughed them out of the place.
About the only smart thing that Geoff Dixon ever said was that “a fare that you can’t charge all the time is a sign of an unsustainable business”. The problem with the low fare model is that it doesn’t pass the test of increasing business costs. If JQ fares can’t cope with a reasonable increase in labour costa and conditions, charge more. Simplistic I know but what you charge has to cover your costs.
I highly doubt JQ will have to make anyone redundant. At all. Besides, if they did, they’d have to hire you again within a few months (as per the eba) as soon as hiring recommenced. With your old seniority number. So it’d essentially be a paid holiday.
The long term plan always was for the 787s to go to mainline and replace the older 330s for domestic ops. From what I hear. Which could be wrong. Or not. However an all A320/1 fleet makes sense for JQ
When you’re next up in cruise with nothing to do, read your EBA (likely your first time) regarding the bit about seniority and reflect on how many crews (full compliment) per airframe an airline may have....

Oh ok. A “paid holiday”, sounds like something I’ll rely on, thanks Blueskymine.
