The way QF operate is by stealth, initially they advise only two flights a day, starting in 6 or seven months time. Everyone will complain about it for a couple of months and then just get used to the idea.
Then once the service starts they will gradually add a couple of more flights and maybe even ad a star class as well.
This is how Jetstar has grown so quickly without any opposition.
I think the thing that will make everyone sit and and take notice is when QF announce the order for the C-Series.
The President of United Airlines has apparently been looking at them in the last week as a replacement for their 737's.
I wonder if QF will do the same and give them to Qantaslink.
The word on the street is they are pretty serious, as they need to fill the gap between the Q 400 and the 737 - 800 considering the 737 - 400 are retiring soon.
Cheers
