QF 737s for Dallas?
Totally unconfirmed rumour and even the source isn't sure of how fkosher it is (himself having been put it together from information from a few different places) but I think there is the possibility of QF 737s hubbing out of Dallas at some stage in the future.
With the AKL flights due to go to Dallas in the future, why wouldn't QF base some 737s to do some 'feeder' or codeshare work.
If you think about pay rates and so one (and even add in accomodation and allowances) then you are still saving in the vicinity of $1 million dollars per annum per airframe by utilising Aussie crews than AMerican.
Also significant marketing advantage plus QF and AA do have an agreement to look at utilisation of assets.
Anyway, it is a rumour and an interesting one at that. Certainly worthy of discussion anyway!
