No, just give them to jetstar, Lets see if we can push the 787s to 2015 for the flying rat.
So lets see, first 78 now delivered to QF mainline in 2011. (Didn't mention that at last weeks briefing!) Should be easy!
"Welcome aboard your qantas aircraft, part of the vintage aviation collection in the qantas group, for your flight to Melbourne/London/HongKong or whatever other joints are left on this network.
Please enjoy the 20 year plus airframe we are hopefully going to launch today.
Just have to get throught the paperwork, i mean mels, prior to our departure. All going well, this should be in around 4 hours.
You may have wondered where the beds are on this flight, don't worry you wont need them as the harmonic tones that you hear from the airframe in cruise will make you sleep like a babby in the classy 1970s derivative business product......."
Neglected and abused are words that come to mind when you balance that with the profits delivered today.....
