If the intention is for the initial routes over the first 6/ 7/8 odd aircraft is to be Sydney to Lax, JfK then Heathrow then that would make sense.
The 12 Sunrise 350s will mostly be flying out of Sydney but the additional 350s to start replacing the 330s will arrive just a year later. So then it’ll be probable most current 330 flying and bases will be transitioned to 330/350, but there’s also the capability to have 350 only pilots.
