i'm glad to be past peak caring.
Or Qantas could just remove the oldest aircraft quietly.
Like replace the average age 25 yo F100s with 10yo A320. That’s 250 year aircraft with 100. Spread over 150 aircraft.
That brings the the average age of the fleet down by 1 year. Pretty simple.
Bring in 14 is it? 787s . Average age 2/3 years?
This airline is is run by accountants and Mathmaticians.
