Word on the street is that the 747-8 is a 'no-brainer' for QF- according to third hand rumours attributed to various management pilots!
Orders may still be 12 months away but some see it and the 777 as a natural replacement for the classic and the older 744's in the QF fleet!
Lots of water to pass under the bridge yet but I thought it'd be nice to have something positive about QF for a change!
