My point was that even though the Boeing aircraft have a better match to Qantas needs, the Airbus is being offered at a price which is impossible to refuse. At the end of the day, if the aircraft cost so much less to finance, then QF will find a way of operating them that makes a greater profit.
I personally want to see the 777 and 787 arrive, however from my info it seems a reasonable chance that there will be more Buses than Boeings.
Just hope I am wrong.
