Interesting.
I think you'll find part of the reason D7 has increased Oz services is to keep their planes in the air, with the delay in the opening of KLIA2 they have no other option as parking at the LCCT is at a premium with D7 only having 4 bays.
Also take into account they have recently taken delivery of a number of A333's including their last 2 factory fresh ones -XXJ and -XXK, the first of 7 second hand ex CX/KA A333's is ready in Singapore for delivery -XXL too. -XXM is also at SIAEC in Singapore undergoing preparation for service also.
I just came back from KL on Tuesday and their wasn't too many spare seats onboard so they are doing well out of Perth. Flight up had 308 pax on.
