There has been a bit of talk about a late change to the allocation of the 787-8. I remember at a management pow wow we were told that 'QF dont want the 800, not as good as advertised, JQ can have em'.......
Also rumours that the QF cabin design team were recently rushed over to the states, and after a few too many chardy's on the way home one let slip that they had been tasked to quickly do the interiors for QF 787's
One JQ 330 dude i sat next to on a paxing flight recently told me the loads between Oz and Narita had been very low.....the lowest he'd seen was 40 odd pax, and he wouldnt be surprised if JQI was slowly wound down...
Who knows...interesting to see. Although given AJ's history for letting QF down, it will probably be a press conference to announce the appointment to the board of another private equity guru with zero airline experience....
