My bet.....Qf aren’t going near the A350!

I agree, I fully expect that they will order the appropriate version of the 777 which at this time WILL be the right aeroplane. It will replace the A380s eventually and will leave QF in time with a 777/787/737 fleet with perhaps the 737 giving way so that they'll end up with a 777/787/797 fleet eventually. Let Jetstar have the plastic, disposable rubbish (330s/321s/320s) and keep QF all Boeing.
