AA will take over some routes that QF currently fly (eg: CNS-KIX). What they have said is that they will not fly concurrently on the same route.
Another thing, just listening to the world today on the ABC, a few more points have come up:
- Planes will be ochre coloured "from tip to tail" (!!)
- All economy 767-300s will only have 6 F/As as opposed to the 9 currently on QF int'l services (they claim they can cut staff costs by over 25%).
- Maintenance may well be done overseas with SIN, TPE and AKL currently under consideration
