If that is still the case which i believe so, then Sir Richard could end up owning part of Jetstar which could not happen, and if it did, then Jetstar could become Virgin Blue's low cost carrier
Just kidding but interesting.
Basically i could not see this merger happening.  |
I think you are reading way too much into it.
BTW I think you will find this only relates to Jetstar Asia. Jetstar Asia, Jetstar Aus and Jetstar Pacific (Vietnam) are all different companies with a common major shareholder which is Qantas. Just because they sell an interest in one of their companies, doesn't mean they are selling an interest in all.
