N Monster has nailed it!
Indeed what are the 787s doing at Centre Link with Wings!
An Aircraft that offers a vastly improved flying experience, and for which business passengers will pay a premium for, flying bogans to Bali!
And Qantas announce a expensive refurbishment of the A330 fleet,flat bed business seats so the 330s assigned to Domeestic can compete with Virgin Australias product.
If the 787s had gone to Qantas, they would be operating to perth right now, with flat bed business seats!
Look at other Full service Airlines that have set up Long Haul LCCs,
Singapore with Scoot, gave them some of their oldest 777/200s,
Air Canada recently launched "Rouge" their Long Haul LCC, they had A330s in the Air Canada Fleet, and 787s coming, but they gave "Rouge" old 767/300s!
In fact why did Jetstar even get the near new and new A330s?
There is not one route they have flown Internationally, that a Qantas 767/300 could have flown!
