Absolutely fantastic outcome!!
Looks like Qantas will get some competition at last on the Aust-West coast route.
And last but certainly not least, I will not now be forced to travel in those A380s of QFs when they are delivered, as they will most likely be used on the Pacific route. I was looking at having to travel via Hong Kong or Singapore to avoid them!
Great news, and will get to travel in a B777 to boot!
