VB to get B787's

[Gunger]

Just wait and see

[Buster Hyman]

No big deal...everyone's waiting for their 787's.

[Going Boeing]

There's 15 "early" slots that Qantas passed up available.

So Gunger, you're privy to some 'inside' info, are these aircraft for DJ Domestic, Pac Blue or V Oz?

[ules]

So they are not getting anymore ERJ-190s ? damn. lol

[zube]

Gunger.

If you want to impress look into that crystal ball and state when ANYONE will get a 787.

The wing box redesign was still underway last I heard, and when are they going to do the cold soak trials in Canada. Or are they going to build the largest icebox in the world?

[pylet]

No-one is getting 787s

[neville_nobody]

Believe it when it's parked in the hangar is a phrase that comes to mind.

[Hobbit]

Neville, I think that the hangar's the only place it will ever be, not much chance of it ever flying!!

[Ramboflyer 1]

Yes and Ansett ordered A340s for ULH routes as well, where are they now.

[woftam]

B777-200 LR's will be the next announcement.

[littlehurcules]

What makes you think that they will get -200LRs when they have orders for -300's??

[Ratter]

Sydney - New York maybe??

[Aussie]

The only thing left of the 787 dreamliner is the Dream....

[Sunstar320]

Rumour few weeks back on here said the A320, which was indeed a rumour, and now its the bloody 787.

Howabout the 800 seater A380?

[ozangel]

Now now, Godfrey hasn't left just yet - my bets on a few 727s. Although rumour has it he's caught wind of a few local 732s going for a song... Would fit in well with the whole 'be green - recycle' rhetoric! They could even send them on those 'final frontier' routes like ISA-DPS, and ZNE-PMQ (via LST).

Bigger aircraft = more empty premium economy seats.

Happy to be proven wrong - after all, my mortgage depends on it!

[Taildragger67]

Launcher for the 389?

[blow.n.gasket]

How many different airframe engine combinations will that make?
Obviously trying to beat the Ansett record!

[rmcdonal]

Howabout the 800 seater A380?

About time they stretched it, looks a bit squat at the moment

[MonsterC01]

What do you mean "stretch it" they can fit 800 all econ in the bloody thing now! Air Astana already has 2 all economy A380's on order. Imagine the funky smell on that thing when you de-bus!

If the rumours are true about an unspecified type, maybe it will be a turboprop? ATR's? I heard that some of the regional ports that the E Jet was meant to go to, didnt meet the PCN of the E Jet's. Who knows...
