Come end of OCT, UA will be flying 787's MEL/LAX/MEL & QF probably the 380.
Perhaps QF would be better taking some of the 787's planned for JQ & use them on for example, MEL/LAX, BNE/LAX, SYD/LAX on days when larger aircraft can't be justified or 1/2 empty, or make 1 of the 2 daily SYD/LAX a 787 & other 380 ?
Surely a 787 would be perfect vehicle to introduce new routes such as CBR/LAX ?

The A380 has unbeatable CASM if used on the right routes. US routes remain profitable and should grow as the AUD falls. The 747s need to be retired but the 789 is probably the better bet.
