Taildragger I agree with you about the 787, I know this is not QFs doing but Dixon put all QFs eggs into the 787 basket and now they are struggling with products due to this.
Personally I think the 787 is a pipe dream and even if it does fly it wont be in QF service for another 5 years. Maybe some new build 767s would be a worthwhile investment. The old fleet are crap and the interior which is all the customer sees is so out of date,it is embarrasing when all the LCCs are flying new and more modern a/c.
The only thing the 767s have going for them is reliability for the most part.
