I had been wondering why there was such haste in getting rid of the 747s from Qantas and now some light has been thrown on the subject for me. Firstly, this was done in haste and everyone at the coal face was shocked. The reason I am told is Napoleon made this decision on his own to have them gone by the 100th anniversary of the airline in November 2020 which he has publicly said he will preside over. Makes sense to me another lousy decision similar to getting rid of the 767s so quickly.
