Can a 787 go to New York direct from Sydney? Wow. Can't wait to recline in 1A on that one. So glad I won't need to deal with the LA Customs people anymore.
You guys do realise that it's erroneous to believe that new types will be ordered no matter what? Qantas used to have 4 or 5 LHR flights a day and now has 2. No reason that won't be repeated with LAX and elsewhere if the capex and modelling can't be justified and sadly that includes wages for everyone involved.
