The end game was always to "grow" J* and wither mainline...
The A330 will keep going to the "growth" airline. Growth of what i am not sure...

AIPA will be focused on EBA and money matters..

Whammo

The current plans are for one of the mainline domestic configured A332's to go to JQ with 2 new ones from Airbus to go to JQ, so at this stage, mainline is only losing one aircraft.

Boomerang Butt, the QF RR B767's were leased (at a very cheap rate) from BA to do domestic flights only. The difference in pax oxy endurance is only because of what BA had specified (their B767's regularly flew to Middle East destinations which does involve flying over high terrain for short periods).

The two new ones are slated for Mainline, GB. Not JQ. Mainline will have one extra aircraft.

What I've heard is more along the lines of what GB posted; more A332s to JQ both from QF and EADS.

Oxygen requirements aren't your only concern if crossing "the hump", think about the engine out max level, B763 at 185t engine out crz level is about Fl190!

I doubt you would be crossing "the hump" at 185T (max T/O wt). The routes out of BKK and SIN don't go over real high ground until just before Pakistan which would be about 4hrs into the flight.
