I don't really get this move. Apart from giving more transparency to see how much QF International is losing, doesn't this increase inefficiencies in terms of duplication of costs? Or are they pretty much run separately anyway?
Is the reason for this to show to the unions how much International is losing and use it as a stick to show how dire their situation is and force them to make concessions?
