I've never flown Qantas but flown numerous times on Jetstar and never 
had a problem, on domestic flights I've always gone for the cheapest.
Only ever had one Jetstar flight cancelled and they booked us on a 
flight only 40mins later than our original flight so it didn't cause us 
any problems, they also gave us a $100 flight voucher each for the 
inconvenience so I'll happily fly Jetstar.
