The issue for me is whether many of the QF international routes can ever make a decent return.
It has been said many a time on this site, give them the right equipment and they can. Sounds like 'build it and they will come'.
e.g.
The right equipment to HNL,
Only QF to HNL,
Return Intn'l destinations to QF, e.g. SYD/MEL/PER - DPS and AUS - Japan.
