So who really pays for the introduction of the 787 into J* Asia? How will they be able to sublease back to J* when they will not be operating them? How much will the introduction cost and how will it effect the bottom line? Given the margins are sooooo thin will chicken with rice be enough to keep them out of the red. Fuel savings will easily be diluted with the inevitable delays always associated with a new type and the unresolved tech issues which are becoming obvious. The grounding of the 787 fleet worldwide does not bode well for J* Asia's acceptance of line number 123 788 airframe in September/October this year. I also note that the assembly number data shows VH registration. Don't know if this just an assumption based on the parent company being Australian or for some other reason. Can the aircraft be registered in OZ and be flown by J* Asia based in Singapore?
