As someone asked ... but no one has answered ....
What happened to the 787s?
787s won't save QANTAS more like one of the main problems 
.
Qantas has finally succumbed to the 80's policy of focussing on your CORE business and making your business more efficient by reducing staff and services.
A lot of Australian companies failed under this flawed policy imported from the Harvard business school. The rest of the world just looked on as Australia committed suicide with this stupidity and now we are going to TAX carbon dioxide to save the planet 
.
Definitely nothing wrong with Australia just ask our competitors 
.
