QF fleet differences
I have been looking into the QF fleet and know that the 38 in all Boeing aircraft numbers such as 767-238 - is the Boeing company identifier for Qantas. But looking at the entire QF fleet most of the 733's are 737-376's and most of the 734's are also 737-476's - does anyone know why this is? Did Qantas pick up someone else's order for these aircraft? Does anyone know which airline 76 is?
I also noticed OEB (747-48E), OEC (747-4H6), OED (747-4H6), NLH (747-436), TAB (737-3Q8), TJV (737-4Q8) and TJW (737-4L7) are the exceptions to the 38 rule - are these aircraft ones that Qantas has bought or hired from some other airline? Can anyone advise?
Cheers,
