Yeah, I agree. There are very few airlines that operate as many longhaul or ULH flights, as a proportion of their network, as Qantas. That means that Qantas can readily purchase and configure its fleet for ULH operations without handicapping itself for shorter flights (e.g. transatlantic, intra-Asia etc.), allowing it to compete more strongly on those routes.
