The other side of the coin for QF flights to CDG is the INBOUND / VFR traffic.
As there is a Federal Election later in the year -this will become a very hot issue for the pollies to argue about.
The Tourism industry is been smashed at the moment ( especially in FNQ). The high dollar,GFC etc means its basically the back packer fraternity keeping things going.
The French love to come to Oz. BUT-sadly as cheaply as possible. Enter stage left -JQ.
As been stated previously QF fleet planning has been appalling. Just look at our kiwi cousins and what they are doing with their 777-300's.
I reckon QF will "pulle Le Pin" on Paris-as they need the daily slot for a 744 to make it cost effective.
...............another one bites the dust
