Right at this moment, QF bring PER no international business. QF has withdrawn all its international flying across to T3. PER is now having to spend the same money on reduced use of their own asset, while suffering a reduction in their income. Why wouldn't they resist further reductions, and instead try to increase or restore utilisation.
Also, if PER (4.5M) was getting the International pax numbers that SYD (15.5M) & MEL (10M) were getting, they might not be so worried if QF poached a few off them, but I imagine that QF pax would make up a fair percentage of those 4.5M.
