Qantas in Seattle to take delivery of shiny new jet. Asked about future 737 replacement, of course the CEO is going to talk up the many Boeing options. Across the Atlantic Airbus will have heard that loud and clear. Someone buried deep in 'the campus' is no doubt is working the numbers on the various options and updating the spreadsheet on a month by month basis but Joyce's comments are gamesmanship and the report by Ausbt is simply filling space. I suspect a decision is not even close to being made et alone announced.
