Will it be a success? And if so,
Will QF get more than the original 12?
Will it ever fly in Jet* colours? and if so,
Were will they send it?
You're thoughts.

Junkersjet, well buddy too early to tell what the future has for the a380, you never know they might increase or even decrease orders if they are not happy with the outcome of the A380, there is a rumour going around that the A380 has double the landing fee's and double the distance for other a/c flying behind it into an airport compared to the current 747-400 , my money is that QF will not buy anymore A380 but they will be seriously looking at 747-800 , since that has major savings compared to A380, like the 747-800 has 14% fuel savings and that is big bucks in the Airline industry...anyhow just my two cents worth

Z Force. 3 for Jetstar. But what will they do with them? And when will they get them? Are they looking at an Emirates type "cruize in the sky" thing?

They'll fill them with as many low-fare-paying punters as they can squeeze in at the minimum pitch they can get away with, mate. Take your scented face-mask... What did you think they'd be likely to do with them?
