Leading Edge.
You must understand that some travel agents are not averse to steering you away from whomever they get the least commission or contra, never mind your convenience. Such tactics were rampant against Compass 2, I would not doubt that they are being used again.
Case in point. Local travel agent claimed that the flights a customer requested on C2, were full, seats unavailable but hey no problem QF or AN will take you. Perusal of specific loadings proved assertions were crap.
Not that QF would be encouraging such shenanigans, of course.
