It's pretty academic now that Sydney access is on hold, but I understand the concept was to provide premium business and economy class - no first class.
There is no doubt that pissed off / frustrated customers from QF and Virgin would have provided substantial A320/1 loads up and down the east coast and across to PER.
On the BNE terminal side; exactly what has Virgin leased? From memory, there are far more gates available than Virgin could use.
