Thanks; SYD-DFW and DFW-BNE added as 744. SYD-SFO will fall out automatically at the right time, but I appreciate it is confusing for forward planning.
I'm not familiar with QF's W plans .. is that NRT/FRA 3-class using a different aircraft type? What's happening there? Are they changing from fjy to jwy, or something else? MM works the cabins by assuming an aircraft type (e.g. 773 or 744) has a fixed configuration per airline (i.e. 744 is always fjwy), so if the aircraft type 744 maps to different configs (e.g. fjwy, jwy) then it means either a lot of manual tweaking, or we just live with it.
BTW, it is probably most useful for people who use MM to know that a given route no longer has F, rather than if a JWY config is being introduced (i.e. to complement an existing FJWY service). (I assume!). I've no real idea what QF's plans are on these routes, so having this feedback is great!
