Yes but I’ve been told previously the JQ 787s are ‘unsuitable’ to be converted to mainline configuration (crew rest the biggest issue but not the only one) and QF would be better off just sourcing new airframes and trying to sell the JQ airframes. That said, they’ve already put out an EOI for at least some of those airframes and I’m not sure they have received or will receive much interest in them.
Of course if a vaccine is discovered before the end of the year then it’s going to be a V and I can see demand for the A380s coming back pretty quickly. Without that vaccine though.....
