The fact that a fare has been filed has nothing to do with schedule. Anyone seen a scheduled QF flight SFO-YVR? Not. As far as I can see QF is not actually flying between SFO and YVR.

If I was a betting man one of the first North American ports JQ I will serve will be YVR, maybe via HNL. Probably won't happen until 2009 or so though. Grant SYD QF ---- "Michael C.
