LV,
your ignorance of the problems with the A330 order suggests that you must be senior QF management or perhaps a board member.
AUD $100 million was spent converting the initial BRAND NEW A330s so that they could be used for the LONG RANGE ops for which they were designed.
QF bought them to be used between SYD, MEL and BNE despite the fact that no one else in the world operates this aircraft in this fashion.
It is after all a long range aircraft.
The bean counters held sway as an extra row of seats could be fitted with only the shorthaul ops galleys.
QF couldn't make them work for shorthaul ops and $100 million was spent on the refit.
The money squandered because of dixon's ineptitude.
Never mind.
Lets just sack a few more staff or send a few more jobs offshore.
