I have to admit that I am surprised at the price difference between Europe and the States whether it is a return or one way (they are obviously return prices).
My prediction is that with QF, VP or VS and SQ operating this route it would spell the end of UA before it had any effect on QF.
The playing field would level out again with QF having the lions share which they would protect and deserve to have. UA are on their knees with this spelling the end for this part of the world.
Interesting Anderson visiting Sir Dick. It is assumed that he wants to talk about DJ flying the Pacific route when I would say Anderson will be talking about VS also getting rights. If SQ get them then so would VS. If he wanted to talk anout DJ he would speak with Corrigan or Godfrey, wouldn't you think.
