but that's their own fault - no-one forced them to cut a deal with EK and reduce their long-haul flights - it was the economics that did it

Flying a few pax LHR-Perth is unlikely to make them any serious return at all
I agree. When they cut European flights for the M.E. I thought it strange. On the one hand, they could have spotted the future and put their routes in a safer place - but only time will tell.

When I saw this announcement, I again thought it strange. Whilst there are a fair number of connections to be made, they must be really sure of the numbers to dedicate machines and crew to this ULH route.
