I'd have thought with Thai and/or Malaysia, QF and BA can afford to cut back on routes that require a stop over in SE Asia.

QF are already cutting back on routes like LHR-SYD and routes in the SE Asia region.

Of course, I don't know what the strategic goals for QF are. They may want to be a major player in the Europe to Asia/Aus market, then, yes, having Malaysia or Thai will be counter-productive.

As to SAA, I think you're right. However, I don't know how BA will feel about it, since they do have a bit of interest in that market. On the other hand, SAA are already a partner with QF...
