Some interesting thoughts. I'll go out on a limb- QF will not buy the 777. Never. They've had plenty of opportunities and the bean counters say the numbers don't work. The only one that seems a shot is the 200LR. With fuel they way it is, I doubt the economics of ULR aircraft will stand up to scrutiny. I think a 787-10 is much more likely. As for whether Boeing will build it, read Baseler's Blog on the web site and he's on record as saying he thinks they will and I think QF will buy it, along with more 380s and 748s for the long haul fleet. Cheers
