(Dream?)liner...its you!

787-9 is the right plane. QF needs the range flexibility
Agreed. Better to have the flexibility to hit as many possible future destinations with the one type.

A sufficiently bargain-priced, smaller-capacity type that can be mainly filled up in off-peak (most of the year) times, unlike the excess-capacity Dugong, while then having the option to drive up yield when peak demand enables higher pricing.

There is nothing so sad as seeing an aeroplane flying long sectors around half full a significant percentage of time.

It seems that some people just can't let go of the QF and B777 thing.

It's time to let it goooooooo.
Indeed. Horse...bolted. Ship...sailed. etc etc!!! :
