Kind of a mute point cause the a350-1000 doesn't have the legs either.

Really kind of mute because there is no plane that can economical serve atl-syd. None. And please don't go quoting wikipedia ranges...we will start laughing at you.
I just don't know why someone would want a flight that long. I would much rather switch and get a break.

Time and time again passengers have shown a willingness to go with long nonstops to save time.

Now passengers are willing to fly to Ireland and the United Kingdom on Norwegian Air in a plane with 189 seats that Southwest only outfits with 175 seats for domestic flights. People complain a lot, but they are actually willing to endure a lot of hardship.
