To add some balance, Jetstar would move from Asian country to Asian country selling off it's franchise to flood the Asian market to try emulate McDonalds. Only now it doesn't have the QF brand, money and fast fading connections to start up an airline and struggles to expand on its $100m a year profit and finance the order book for over 100 aeroplanes. When it shows any signs of struggling or a financial loss, then the government will move in and confiscate the airline and jail the local management.
In the meantime, the shareholders get rid of this management and instate someone who focuses solely on Qantas and developing premium routes with there 787 internationally. Where was this funded from? Oh looky do! Plenty of free cash flow as Qantas has rid the leach! And guess what the staff played a major part in the turn around and they were plenty happy because they also filled shareholders pockets with money.
As the camera pans away from Webzone the Asian business man will just laugh and say 'welcome to Asian business'.
