Yeah I think you’re dreaming. I don’t think QF need some ****ty old 777’s with no provision for cargo to go onto some routes that would be very freight heavy I imagine (refer old comments about the amount of freight coming out of, or it might have been into, Jo’Burg). Operationally, I doubt they would gain any benefit out of training crews earlier than they need them. It’s just another aircraft.
