Extinction Rumours
Those who are suggesting that Longhaul is heading for the graveyard are both premature and uninformed.
In the fleet there are 30 744s 6 0f which are ERs.
These aircraft service 8 destinations and require approximately 6 crew complements(84) to sustain them.
Frequencies to some of these destinations are increasing(SFO for example).
Money is and has been spent improving the procedures and service on these aircraft and to these destinations.
These aircraft have a great deal of life left in them.
While these aircraft are in service there will AlWAYS be a need for LH CC.
Those that suggest otherwise are both scurrulous and contemptible.
QF management are the enemy....not each other.
Lets move on shall we?
