I guess time will tell but I note VS are rebooking quite a few of their pax onto CX services between Sydney and HGK. In relation to BA and their brain power they had little bargaining power and made the best if what was 'tough love' from Qantas. 

Not if they do a deal with CX to feed their flights.  The problem will be if you travel Sydney to HGK on CX why would you bother to book on VS. 

In the very challenging operating conditions it was inevitable Virgin Atlantic would pull up stumps on this flight. While it is rumoured VA would like to stop the London to Hong Kong flight due to losses they are keen to offer the landing slot to Cathay Pacific. UK authorities may not be keen wit...
