the little mathematician who runs Qantas has asked Boeing if they can increase the range of that model to operate that route.
Boeing must be thrilled!
I bet they're thinking, '20yrs of 777 operations, and you
Pr&%#s haven't bought any of them, and now you want us to spend another few million tweaking a model thats not even flying yet so you
might consider buying some?'
Theres something Dixon-esque about that rumour! (remember the 'give me the 787-10 or I'll go elsewhere…'?!)
