Could BA do what SQ have done and launch a couple of flights, maybe twice daily, non-stop from LHR to SYD with the 77L?
They could put a full business and first cabin and the plane would piss it there! Would save a lot of time for transferring biz passengers in HKG, DXB, DOH, SIN, BKK, KUL etc. Time is money!
Before you all shoot me down, would it be feasible? They have 772ERs at the moment so 77L would be a great addition and even if they didn't use them on the long routes everyday they can fit an extra 24,000kg in the cargo hold which would be a massive boost (when the economy recovers) for PVG, PEK, HKG etc.!
I just thought these non-stop routes in conjunction with QF would put them miles ahead of competitors on UK-OZ flights.
I don't think Y passengers would like 20 hours on a plane and it wouldn't help the MTOW limit plus more money for more J and F seats!
