A380 crew told me who listened on the webinar that only 3 hulls need to go to LAX or Abu Dhabi soon to get checks and a gear service otherwise they turn into coke cans.
They then go back to the desert to be stored.Some management pilots will prob do the three flights.
3-6 380s to return is what I heard .And 2023 is the return date Qantas claimed on webinar. 2 years away at least. But who says they even return? Red Q was going to happen and did not.Jetstar Hong Kong was going to happen and didn't.The company minion was claimed to have said the 787 will take all the 380 flying for a number of years due to aircraft being more fuel efficient and the load being more commercially suited to the 787.
All bull**** unless it actually happens.
