While I am as optimistic as I have been in years about the 787 coming to mainline, could I caution people not to get too excited. This deal, if it in fact exists, may be part of an unpleasant "whole package" of an EA. However it does seem that QF are talking to AIPA and that after years bobbing in the water, good ship QF and its pilots may be about to experience a slight breeze.
