So PEnginner, why did Qantas take the last lot of BA 76's? According to an engineer I spoke to who worked on powerplants they will only have take them if they are near perfect. Now, the ETOP's 76's would probably be a good bet for Qantas or RAF, except Whiskey Hotel, which is a shed. However the shorthaul ones are a different kettle of fish, whose engine parameters are not within the tolerances required by Qantas.
As for the £600 mill, that'll keep those blood suckers at Water World going for another few months. Expect to see the business lounges "re Feng Shui'ed"
