So QF is going from an A zone of 14 in F config to an A zone of 12 in J config?

The 9 aircraft I am presuming will be the 6 ER and the last 3 RR build aircraft?

This will give QF a fleet of 12 4 class A380, 8 3 class A380 and 9 3 class 744 aircraft?

Considering QF used to have 30 744 aircraft before EZE & DFW and when NRT and BNE-SIN were 330 routes does that not leave them short a few frames?

To split it out;
SYD-SIN-LHR 4 class A380 daily
MEL-SIN-LHR 4 class A380 daily
SYD-LAX 4 class A380 daily
MEL-LAX 4 class A380 daily
12 frames

SYD-LAX 3 class 744 daily
BNE-LAX 3 class 744 6x week
SYD-EZE 3 class 744 3x week
SYD-DFW 3 class 744 4x week
SYD-NRT 3 class 744 3x week
BNE-SIN 3 class 744 daily
SYD-PER 3 class 744 daily
SYD-HKG 3 class 744 daily
SYD-JNB 3 class 744 daily
13 frames ? (4 frames short)

SYD-BKK-LHR 3 class A380 daily
SYD-SIN-FRA 3 class A380 daily
MEL-HKG-LHR 3 class A380 daily
9 frames ? (1 frame short)

What have I messed up here or is QF short?
