If the loads are indeed in the 70% range, then QF is likely making lots of money on these flights, and unlikely to be missing any lost front cabin passengers. </font>
I wouldn't say the paying front cabin pax are not missed. The truth is that CNS is a leisure destination and QF through AO is catering to that. Much like how BA used to cater to the Caribbean and TPA destinations with high-density 777s and how NW caters for the Japan-HNL market (446 seat 742s).
