Some of you guys talk / believe absolute crap!
BAC Decide Gate allocations, Not V, not QF.
Mikeb744 - Agreed.
Not sure on the "pushback competition with QF" on inaugural day (seems stupid that anyone would try that on their first flight given the media coverage and photo shoots by the plane etc.
My understanding is that V-Aus will primarily be using the "Emirates" (lack of a better word) gate in YBBN? (Far end gate towards domestic). Perhaps V are using the Emirates lounge for their J class pax just as they're using the Malaysia lounge in SYD and Alaska Lounge at LAX? Seems reasonable to park their heavy there for this purpose?
