British Airways - 2

[Skipness One Echo]

So :
QF1 SYD-BKK-LHR B744
QF29 MEL-HKG-LHR B744
terminate?

Is this, in effect QANTAS cut their London operation in half leaving only
QF31 SYD-SIN-LHR A388
QF9 MEL-SIN-LHR A388

Also, in effect BA's Australia operation is cut by ~50% to a single LHR-SIN-SYD. I would imagine only politics and pride stopped the obvious BA to SIN only and QF to MEL and SYD only option.....
