Exactly GB. He was pushing 30% and now it's suddenly 38%. Like any statistic, you can come up with a calculation to give you a desired headline. A bit like my car can supposedly go from 0-100km/h in 6.1 seconds, in reality with a normal driver and a normal road it's probably more like 9 seconds. The 30 or now 38% is probably more like 10 or so with a real world schedule actually applied to it and not some theoretical maximum.

He says these things to convince the shareholders and market and more importantly, other unions like the FAAA still to bargain.

Did you know that 78% of statistics are made up on the spot?

You know what though, 30%, 38%, 78%, who cares. The fact is, finally, Qantas management are talking up the 787 in long haul. I don't care what figures they use to convince the ignorant masses. The facts are the aircraft are coming, I'm going to have the opportunity to fly it, and the company are finally supporting it.

These statements are made for the consumption of the masses who don't know that they are lies. .
