I wouldn't rule out a return to that strategy in some form post covid.
Yikes! Must be retired Longhaul.
QF Domestic has been the life blood of Qantas since the “takeover” of Australian Airlines in 1992.
The reality is that the current CEO has been looking for a reason to give up on Longhaul for his entire administration.
Project Sunrise is its last best hope.
Longhaul has managed to believe its own BS for decades now. This crisis has demonstrated how fragile ,and marginally profitable ,it is.
Reality is the A380 will probably never fly again.
