well their business class and premium economy fares are more in line with that of Qantas, so, I'd guess they are targeting the carrier that does the most business on the route...which is the sensible thing to do. this product is not even close to what UA offers on the their 744's, for a start UA don't have PTV in their economy class or economy plus, I could go on but the differences don't really need highlighting.

Agreed
UA is rubbish in Economy and will be for the next 5-10 years on the 744's. Even with the refits coming up, which they still haven't got one 744 up and running, the Y product is not changing besides maybe some new seat covers. The only thing that saves UA is the easy upgrade policy |

As they have 9months to go to the launch, if they have a few $1699, $1799 sales along the way they will be going fine.
9months to fill 3months worth of flights, nothing to hard |

Yes so yet again better than QF 744's I really dislike the Skybed, and even the look of the Skybed II for the A380 is really only flatter, not much else and not private enough.
The J suites on AC are beautiful and NZ is nearly the same. VA will be very similar again. The problem for QF is that they need/want a First class on some routes, so how do they keep the J seats separate enough to not eat away at the First market. If QF did proper J suites like well every other major airline the need for first would pretty much dimish |

No way I would day $10k and HOPE to get a new seat Much safer to fly VA, NZ, QF and get a good seat worth the $$ |

skybed is an embarrassment especially when they had the chance to really attack SQ with a new product for their A380. The real question is this, how long down the track will it be when QF realise their business product is outdated and then launch a costly upgrade process?
