V Australia commenced BNE-LAX today
They are giving 2 x daily tickets on one of the radio stations every day currently! Be interesting because apparently QF currently occasionally cancel their BNE-LAX and send the pax to SYD due to poor loads.

Hopefully QF will cancel all their flights BNE-LAX, and let "V" take up the reins,
I've had a gutfull of the whining from QF over the years and how hard they are done by, may "V" live long and prosper.

You need to get some facts instead of making comments like this.
90-95% is pretty good...for the first flight

It is you who needs to get YOUR facts straight. On a number of occasions QF have cancelled BNE LAX flights due to only having approx 70 pax booked. Also they operate 6 days a week BNE LAX not 2 as ststed. That was about 18 months ago.

I believe V Oz are 90-95% loads out of here.
Unless you give us more details about where heard the loads from, I aint going with those facts, Sydney is getting 45%-Brisbane double now

I really wish them well. But the fact that they are offering BNE-LAX-BNE for A$777 for the balance of April (not all flights of course) indicates how tough the market conditions are.

It was a simple solution for QF. Send them to SYD and onto a SYD LAX flight. The return is the same solution LAX SYD BNE. With 3 flights a day ex LAX to SYD it is just the sensible thing to do. Why burn over 100 tons of fuel for 70 pax.

Hoboe and all, FYI - the DELTA press release announcing Delta's intention to fly to Sydney is dated in December 2008. So it's hardly NEWS, but more importantly - published well before the interline agreement between VA and Delta was announced. Delta is now oncarrying pax for VA and there will be 2 daily VA flights between SYD & LAX, its just that one of them will say Delta on the outside of the aircraft (& the FA's may be on average a few years older and lack the Virgin flair;-)) I reckon Qantas are soon gonna wish that Singapore Airlines got the route rather than the Branson flying circus...

Consolidating flights due lack of capacity perhaps.
Disruptions last year on the QF 744 as a result of:
a. QF enginerring industrial dispute.
b. Aircraft in Manila with the oxy bottle incident.
c. Aircraft in Avalon after the towing incident.
I stand to be corrected, but cancelling or consolidating services due the above perhaps, but as to low pax loads? When did such ocurr?
