Il,stick my neck out here and say none of the 747s will go in the next 3 years. The first 8 787s are all I believe for new routes. So, what routes could the 747 come off and be replaced by an A330? None I can think of even if they had surplus 330 to do it. All the 747 routes need 350 seat aircraft. Qantas management are proof you don't need a long neck and feathers to be a goose!
