C'mon, who wouldn't want to fly the 787:

I am glad to see Qatar taking the lead in the Middle East on the 787. EK may have the biggest aircraft but QR will have the most advanced.
On a side note, I could be VERY wrong, but I have read rumours that QR may start a "commutable" schedule for pilots. Cathay Pacific offer pilot bases outside HKG and it probably has no issues finding qualified pilots who want to live remotely. With QR, they have never offered a "commutable" schedule or remote bases outside Doha. That has never been the case in the past. Is that remotely possible now or is it a complete false rumour? Anyone else hear that rumour? I bet QR would get flooded with stellar CVs/applications if it came to fruition...
