Currently they only operate on A380 aircraft. You will only be flying where A380 flies & of course if B787 if this gets approved.
Mainline crew: this crew is endorsed on the B747 & A330 aircraft only. You will only be flying where B747 & A330 flies.
Regarding ground school training it depends on the needs of QF which aircraft (A380/B787 or B747/A330) they put you on. If you get put into mainline then you will be trained on both aircraft type's. If you get put on A380 then depending on if this EBA gets approved I would assume that you will be dual endorsed A380 & B787 but don't quote me on that otherwise just A380.
Thank you crewflyer for your quick and detailed reply! That makes great sense
How long does it usually take for EBAs to be approved?
