I think Cpt Kremlin has basically nailed it. There has to be a reason why we will continue to carry surpluses if there is no requirement for us in the future, but the T&Cs will be different than current LH conditions, I think what the 330 was introduced under would be palatable. Probably more closer to a 767 hourly rate i would guess.
The elephant in the room though is what will QF do with the Partnership with EK and will that be dissolved to then Hub through Shanghai or Guangzhou with our new partner?
It would certainly make more sense to have a fleet of 787s flying into a hub in asia than just two 380s flying into the Middle east.
Interesting times ahead but things do indicate that once this record loss is announced come 24/8 the miraculous turn around will begin.
Fingers and toes crossed!
