I can't see UA or AA rushing to recommence South Pacific flying either
Considering UA was pulling out of SYD-LAX during the NS months and reducing those services to NW seasonal before the pandemic hit. UA's pull out on SYD-LAX would leave a little wriggle room for QF/AA and perhaps DL/VA should the later joint-venture group return to TransPacific flying when this subsides (and if VA survives in a smaller form for that matter).
