I see it going the other way.
Agreements have been signed at least with the pilots.
the post covid world will be a point to point world avoiding, well, Asia.
I see QF bringing forward the 350s which will be available quickly, standing up 330 guys straight to it and training the 380 guys over.
The QF Longhaul network will be LHR ex per. JFK ex syd. Lax ex syd with a handful of 80s with Mel and Bne hubbing via SYD.
The maggot will be very busy domestically.
Im not so sure how JQ will pan out, but I see those 787s coming across to QF ASAP and the older 330s parked up.
I suspect the LCC model of leased fleets will be over. In the shorter term.
