As was predicted this route is finely balanced. Despite much fanfare from the usual flag wavers and believers, another Grand Vision from Little Napoleon sees the Middle eastern hub abandoned, Perth London err Re-routed and QF9 via Singapore.
Another Fort Fumble random walk, from Singapore to Dubai and back again.
You are constantly on the attack. Yes the route is marginal but appears to have been working, no idea about the profitability. Yes taking 90 seats out would destroy any profit but so would getting shot down. Obviously when the route was planned avoiding a war zone was not required.

Damned if they do damned if they don’t with you.

I will eat my words if it reroutes through SIN and stays that way when the conflict allows more direct routing again. Now where is that 350.......
