Ranhja,
Don't forget the announcement of Shanghai services - although we don't know if some of these slots maybe given to AO which would be great news !
Also Shanghai - London.
Have been reading that QF L/H are looking to purchase 10 747-400's possibly from BA which would mean stacks of crew needed.
Just remember guys if it doesn't happen now, it certainly will in a couple of years when the A380's arrive.
