It was always intended that the -8s at JQ would be replaced by the -9s that offer lower CASK and greater range, but the way they are deploying the -8s now tells me that the idea of longhaul low-cost dominance is out of favour.
Whilst I think you're probably right, at the last roadshow Salter was adamant they are making a business case for more 787s at JQ. Make of that what you will.
