Discussion around the survival of Qantas has come about due to the effects of the WFC.
The WFC is an aberration. An out of line, cyclical event. Sooner or later it will end.
Prior to the effects of the WFC [last year] Qantas reported a profit in the order of AUD $1.5 billion.

Lowdown,
you claim not to want to hypothesize about the future and yet you post this-
"What's Qantas intending to do with the A380 if the market continues to tank? One or two flights per week won't compete against a daily service."
Again.
Do you seriously suggest Qantas is going to go from multiple daily flights to one or two a week ?

Slice,
yes you are probably right. I was thinking of American at the time. My mistake.
The point remains however that there has always been competition on the route.....
