Some observations:
EK and SQ's move to T1. This is part of a long-term project to allocate specific carrier types to dedicated terminals ie. T1 Full Service Scheduled, T2 Leisure, T3 LoCo. In theory this is a good move, however it depends on some serious work on T1 and expansion of T3. Some of the T1 work is underway, but it needs the redevelopment of Piers B and C and new lounges on the old Southern Front. The T3 apron work is underway, but needs an expansion of the main terminal. EK want to be able to operate an A380 by 2010, but this needs a new Pier C. SQ want the upgraded facilities to move from T2, but won't be interested in A380 facilities.
Regarding the BG rumour of a DAC-MAN-JFK. They've now got two leased 74's a -200 and a -300. The -200 with 16J and 526Y and the -300 with 512Y seats. That'll quite nicely replace the BA service
