Jetstar deferring 787 deliveries? - Lets not get caught up in dazzling facts about aircraft performance and wing loadings - lets stick to gritty rumours here. I think the guts of the argument is not about the struts, it's about QANTAS is out of CASH!!! Get it, Jetstar is a shelf company and it's parent QANTAS pays the bills and is now broke!! If QANTAS had the money it would snap up the new airframes whatever strut/engine combo it has, gift them to Jetstar and find any number of routes to fly it on. The question is - how broke is the kangaroo??
OK, Jetstar isn't a shelf company.....
