The fleet decision has been made we have the “game changer”. Not the correct aircraft to replace the 747 but been purchased none the less because the price is right. IMO the 787 now is second generation game changer the A350 and 777X when available are what Qantas should be focusing on, also the 787-10 would be a great fit for Asia and the Tasman. Training is in chaos since the decision to retire the 747 at short notice, more crew are to be trained on the 747 even thou they will be RINed early next year. If they can’t work something out (VR) then 380 Captains will be decimated by 747 Captains. Pass rate for FO upgrade on the 330 at the moment is 25%, yes 25%. FOs upgrading to command on the 737 been given 2 months off. I say again complete and utter chaos.
