Tips and Rumors
Trouble for Qantas to Dallas. Following on from Ben Sandilands' article on the Virgin-Delta deal: To make it worse about six weeks ago Boeing offered Qantas six new 777-300s, which were an option for American Airlines (it doesn't want them). Naturally it knocked them back. This info came from a pilot manager and a Boeing rep on a flight across the Pacific.

"......the biggest fleet blunder it ever made, in choosing NOT to buy Boeing 777s."
Obviously watching their pennies. They've just copped another $5million fine from the NZ Competition Watchdog for price fixing. Can't afford to buy anything . Bonuses to pay and all that!
