BNE LAX direct is coming ... however it has not been announced yet ... there's a billboard on Airport Drive in BNE about BNE to LAX with V ... however in the small print (hard to read when you're going 80km/h) it says that it consists of a connection through Sydney with Virgin Blue domestic.
However as I said it wont be long til it is announced... my main interest is how they intend to crew the operation from BNE... BNE base perhaps?
