QF have 6 shiny new 744ERs on order - the first couple arriving before Christmas - then a gaggle of Buses (more A330s than required to simply replace the 762s, then the A380s so somewhere to shove the older 744s - by 2006, OJA will be 16 or 17 years old - would be welcomed). OJA must now 12 or 13 years old, so presumably out of lease. Looks like a reasonable way to get rid of a few of the older bangers?? Or, maybe chuck a couple of the Ugly Sisters at FJ???
So, it would not surprise if FJ's 742s were tinned in favour of the oldest QF 744s and maybe even a 763 or two (if Australian don't get them) as the 330s come in. Hell, maybe some of the 330s might go straight up to NAN??
