Take five, if your figures are correct re the -9 then the Qantas group problems are about to get a whole lot worse if thats possible. The 787-8 in 3 class at ANA is 158 seats. One would have to think that the -9 in 3 class with sleepers would only be around 200 seats. The 787 was never and will never be a 747 replacement which is what i think Qantas imagine it to be. Further as of 2015 Qantas are saying there will only be 9 747-400s. If they continue to fly the following with 747s, Jburg daily, Santiago starting at 3 going to 5 per week, Dallas daily, Lax from Bne 5 a week and from Sydney (107/108) daily, Narita daily, Perth daily, Bne/Sin daily, Frankfurt daily, the my figures are for a minimum of 15 aircraft. How they plan do this with 9 aircraft i dont know, cut more ports? use A330s? Rumours about Frankfurt going but if they do that they might as well give the game away.
