I don't think I am confused at all: http://www.etravelblackboard.co.nz/a...id=64116&nav=2 I am not saying that the OP doesn't have every right to be annoyed etc but not with QF but with JQ/ 3K.

Finally, I have not seen anything yet that indicates that Joyce plans on consolidating the back end of the business units within QF with the back end of JQ. From everything I have heard JQ will continue to be JQ and QF will continue to be QF. The primary reason for this is the legacy of QF would simply be a cost burden to JQ. Since day dot JQ has been free to use its own commercial relationships, that is why for example IBM, Telstra and Amadeus do not manage any IT for Jetstar. As a result JQ can drift in and out of QF Group as best fits on a commercial basis. From everything I have heard this remains unchanged.

QF could cut JQ free tomorrow if needed without having to worry about any messy decoupling.
