Saw on Travel Daily and YSSY forum that Qantas intends to remove First class from ALL 747's, First will remain only on 12 380s for LAX / SIN / LHR flights only,4-class 380s will have business class reduced from 72 to 60 and a new 48 seat upper deck (premium?) economy , reconfigure A330-200/300 with A380 Y seats AND A380 IFE
With the IFE changes in particular, will this make life any easier for Cabin Crew?

It will, provided they change it to a system that is far more reliable than the current system.
the sooner they put the flatbeds(totally flat) in the better.
First class is a waste of space, they should expand business.
better still gutt the whole thing and start again.

indeed. lets hope the time frame does not drag on to 2020:ugh:
But technically, if we reconfigure on the 744, arent we going back to the three classes. J/C the new P, W the new J/C and so forth.
In time the prices will increase and be charged like first class anyway.

tic,
I regularly fly to Changi from LHR on a 747 or 380, but I've never flown in a 744. Could you describe what it looks like please?;)

A 744 is industry shorthand for a 747-400, in the same way 752 is a 757-200 or 773 is a 777-300 or going back a 747-200 was a 742.

Sorry just a joke that backfired 744 "4 class = 400 PAX Quick Fit" as the thread was about reconfiguring the QF744s/A332 &3s. 747 -400s carry roughly 400 passengers
Beerdrinker has answered the question correctly A 744 is industry shorthand for a 747-400, in the same way 752 is a 757-200 or 773 is a 777-300 or going back a 747-200 was a 742
Airbus A332/A333 = A330-200 A330- 300 and so on.

:D Thank you Mr Joyce, It is about time we finally realise that we are losing customers because of our ageing fleet! Now we need to get rid of the 20+ year old 767's off the international runs.
A380 B747 all with great FLAT beds and a IFE system that works. A330 + 787, this is a great International Fleet. :ok::ok::ok:
