Trouble for Qantas to Dallas. Following on from Ben Sandilands' article on the Virgin-Delta deal: To make it worse about six weeks ago Boeing offered Qantas six new 777-300s, which were an option for American Airlines (it doesn't want them). Naturally it knocked them back. This info came from a pilot manager and a Boeing rep on a flight across the Pacific.
