QF Shares hit $1.00 Discuss
Guys open your eyes will you.
The Airbus orders are not for increasing the fleet. They are to replace the fleet keeping the maintenance down and the costs low. Maybe a couple of dozen extra for the Asian ventures in HK & Japan.
The older 320s are getting close to 30k now. Time to give them the flick.
LCC 101
Keep dreaming.

Fleet replacements indeed.
They have two A321's that are approaching 13 years old. Half a dozen A320's are over 8 years old. Half of Jetstar Asia's fleet is approaching 8/9 years old also with some being former Valuair Jets. It will be interesting to see how long they hang onto the A330's for, when you see that half the Jetstar A330 fleet is nearly 10 years old.
LCC seem to average around 10 years on their aircraft, Tiger are about to return its 2004 build A320's, some have gone with the rest to soon follow.

QF dropped below a $1 today and closed at $1.005. The 3% odd fall today is due to either news an Institution was selling last week or the financial figures for 30 June have been leaked.

Traders will have the "jitters" until the formal loss is announced a perhaps a credit downgrade to follow....
The next 18 months are very uncertain. Europe is a big problem. Although the prices of commodities are still high, demand has plummeted according to some leading indicators.

Just remind me how many hours OJA has on it now? 100k?

How low can it go?
No one knows the answer to that.....depends on the broader market as well.
The important thing is the airline returns to profitability ASAP.
I think the next 6 months will see a lot of changes. The institutional shareholders need clear direction and strategy not "hair brain" schemes or excuses. If one of them lose the "faith" could be an exodus. Speculators, traders, and short sellers will be circling for a while yet.

Approx. 12 months ago the "Bell Ringer" predicted QF would fall to 69c. I reported this on a posting dated 3 Aug 2011 when the actual share price was $1.79. The way things are going QF could be 69c in October this year.

$1.14 up 3.64%
This OCT could get nasty with Spain at 25 percent unemployment and hurting and a reporting season potentially full of worse than expected results and credit downgrades for a host of Australian companies.
