AO guys should not rely on AS or anyone to come up with a more positive solution. there are several options QF is looking at, but make no mistake it is not going to be one you guys deserve or like. there are already too many f/a's in qf (forced LSL is back again). then you have J* expanding domesticially and soon international which does not help QF short or longhaul. the airbus A380 doesn't arrive till september 07 (stay tuned for possible further delays). if you have the opportunity to jump ship to EK or someone else do consider it.as far as GD is concerned you are an expandeble commodity.
