So, where did they find this prime example of modern technology.
Obviously was so good that any other prospective buyers by passed it as too good for them.
The ex spirit gems they have found should also prove to be a great acquisition.
Did they come with spares or deemed as surplus to requirements🫣

Look at all the major airlines around the world - they know there’s a decades long pilot shortage coming. They are desperately insourcing subsidiaries (rather than outsourcing), and competing to keep their staff happy. They know that if you don’t attract people to stay, you’re going to be stuffed in the long run.
QF are still the only ones playing the same old divide and conquer, outsource and threaten games. They don’t seem to know any other way. All this talk about getting better, but still playing the same old game plan.

I’m looking forward to the coming 18 months of EA negotiations. Like many people, we worked during COVID to ramp up two business ventures, I no longer need Qantas to pay my bills. Many Australians, aircrew in particular, learned that they can do other things to make a living. Put the gun to my head, pull the trigger, I don’t give a f@#$. I’ll smile and move on with life, minus the constant jet lag.

35 x A321XLR’s to be announced as coming to Qantas Mainline on Thursday.
Taking the total order to 55 replacing roughly 75 B737’s in the long run.
Crewing numbers will be increased from what the 737 currently is: this is based on extended range flying with overnights chewing up crew numbers.
A319’s (ex network) rumoured to be switched across to Mainline if Network keep up these antics.

Imo, buy backs are for companies that have nothing better to do with their money like re-investing in the business, new fleet, training, spares, extra staff etc.

75 738s to go over 10 years so an order of 8 XLRs to replace a year’s worth of 738 retirement makes sense, if they’re just ordering a years worth of replacements at a time.

No one would be particularly disappointed, (beyond the usual disheartening sinking feeling of the last 15 years that we’ve all become used to watching Mainline shrink away), had statements along the lines of “we think you pilots will be very happy”, and the talking up of potentially ‘big’ order numbers supposedly directly from upper flight ops, not been made.
It wasn’t just some run of the mill pilot rumor that there’d be a large order inbound. It had reportedly been stated with a considerable confidence only a week or so ago.
