Perhaps you could explain the point at which you would complain when you paid £15K for two AONE5 and A class availability became so limited you couldn't use them (granted that is not entirely the case here).
I repeat, my point is that they offer no A class availability to customers on a key route SYD-SIN-LHR who have already (arguably) purchased the right to travel F.
There should be some (granted minimal) A class availability. As I said it ain't Concorde.

Your analogies are too complicated for me!
Maybe because I don't see the problem. There
is availability on the route in your class. The fact that you can't get onto the A380 does not mean that your ticket conditions have in any way been breached or even that the ticket itself is compromised by lack of A seats on your chosen route. You can be disappointed and annoyed but I don't see how you can can claim foul play. It might actually be possible that more A seats are being released on the other planes that ply that route. And with the world economy heading south, I'm with
QF32 on this: sit tight and availability will show up.
But then maybe I'm just more relaxed about it because I have a booking on the A380 on my AONE5.
Edit: OK that was unbearably smug... sorry. But point is: you don't have a
right to travel on the flight of your choice but, circumstances being what they are, there's a good chance you will get your choice in time.
