Does anyone know or can speculate with any degree of confidence if QF or VA will publish revised domestic mainline routes over the next few months. My international work wings were clipped some time back and domestic wings were clipped early this week. I was advised I would not have to travel for at least the next 2-3 weeks. A few days later I am rebooking on the same flights I had this time last week, my domestic travel is MEL, SYD, ADL or be it any combination.
Once I had re booked this week's domestic flights and out of curiosity I started looking at flights for April, May and June, guess what all my regular flights and for that matter most flights are still available to book. With a 50-60% reduction in mainline traffic will the real flights be published or are travelers just expected to take a punt on what flight will operate and hope for the best. Looking at ET site it was published that for QF the following reductions are in place, I cannot find VAs:
As stated in other threads I do not actually like flying, it is just another form of transport. Apologies if this has come over as a rant.

- QF - Sydney-Melbourne (88 return services per week, down from 250)
- QF - Sydney-Adelaide (21 return services per week, down from 54)
- QF - Melbourne-Adelaide (27 return services per week, down from 69)
