Yes, many good points above, noting the sale of QF owned Airport Terminals and assets to boost the bottom line... temporarily but with four of Australia's Airports ranking in the World's Top Five Most Profitable Airports... you can guess what's going to happen now
This ULH from New York was a stitch-up, joke and exercise in self-flagellation also.
Why didn't they fly Sydney - New York... as any long haul pilot "worth their salt" knows that that's the harder sector!
East is least, West is best!
Happy Landings
