Crystal Ball.

Qantas mainline gets more A330s and some A340s possibly 350s later. Jetstar will get the 777s being 'built' at the moment, enough Emirates drivers (sick of the sand) will come back and fly them on cheaper rates, this also hurts that companies expansion plans as drivers flee - win win for Qantas. Might even force Emirates to start looking after their pilots a bit better?

Just as Jetstar got A320s vs 737s so as their operation was not too similar to Qantas 737 ops and a transmittion of buisness case was avoided. In this case Jetstar have to go for the Boeing 777 in preference to the A330 - it's worked before, why not try it again.


Perhaps some of those new 744 types in the Com will pay more attention than in the past now it's all getting closer to home.
