So the snowflakes aren’t happy when an Airline tankers to save fuel, to keeps cost low. But when it comes to experiments and p1ssing away profits, that’s totally fine!
Your point might not be completely valid..
AFAIK it's the second leg of the delivery flight, so unless they were going to ship the hull from Seattle to Sydney it was going to have to be flown there anyway.. (though I accept routing via LHR my be somewhat suboptimal from an environmental POV)
