Also my source in QANTAS states they are currently using the 767 fleet to fill in for the Aust air express contract because they cant fulfill their requirements.
my bolding.
Find that hard to believe.
JETEX has just sold one of their 727's, left the country very recently, as QF had no requirements for it.
the serviceablity of the remaining 727's and 146's has exceeded contract requirements.
SO I reckon its because QF has stuffed up on the intro of the 737's, (have they repaired that gaping hole yet) and don't want to extend another lease rather than they are not meeting contract requirements. More B/S from QF, I suggest.
