2010 : The Beginning of the End for Mainline

Heard this one from a reliable source...

Jetstar start getting there 787-8's in the middle of 2008. They get the first 10 or so uintil the 787-9's start to role off the production line.

Apparently as the 9's start arriving the 8's will start to be repainted and be handed over to Qantas. They will be coming back to Qantas with Jetstar pilot's driving them.

The 9's start arriving in 2010 therefore there will be new a/c in Q colours flown by J pilots.

Apparently perfectly legal with the new IR's and already on the drawing bored.

Interesting times.
