With regards to your belowmentioned statement:
Even EK didn't operate their 332's DXB to anywhere in OZ, and their whole business model was built around starting destinations with the 330 then adding a 777 when the loads demanded.
It is incorrect. I think you'll find Sydney originally was served back in 2000 by EK0066, an A330-243 service. This was before Sydney went to a 777 operation.
