I think we are jumping to conclusions about what will and won't be offered. Remmber, AO is a full-service carrier, just low-cost, and everybody was predicting doom and gloom when it was first announced - it didn't eventuate (only thing that SHOULD be changed is the earning of QF FF points on AO).
Let's wait a bit until all of the details are announced - they probably haven't been finalised yet.
