Hardly. Too much competition for the tourist dollar leaves low margins on these flights. Very little business traffic, so aircraft are better deployed on higher yield routes. If this happens with AC it will likely become a Rouge route when more 767s become available. Previous runs made money because the front cabin and half the back was heading to Australia. If there was enough Canada-Australia business traffic, QF would redeploy its rights to/from YVR and NZ would up its schedule from three days a week.
