Yes,
Except they aren’t called Captain’s Choice anymore... it’s a part of the ongoing devaluation of the Pilot Profession.
The last thing they want to do is promote the significance of a Captain.
It’s said but true. This name change would have gone to Board level.
Anyone remember the Captain’s Club?

the naming of these flights has nothing to do with the QF board. These are simply charters, the naming is determined by the company who organise the event. The company who ran the “Captains Choice Tours” has recently changed ownership and for whatever reason the new management decided to change the name.

Actually Captains Choice has changed ownership a few years ago. It is (or was until very recently) still trading the same name but was sold to a larger travel operator.
They’ve used many operators over the years besides QF and would often use smaller and long range aircraft to get to more out of the way places. , They were great fun tours and generally nice pax too.

Nothing really. Get any group of 40 people and you’ll get a couple of oddballs who despite seeing the most amazing sights and experiences can’t muster any sort of smile, happiness, warmth or enthusiasm.

Wouldn't you think if they were going to all the trouble of chartering an aircraft for a RTW trip, with some fares almost $90k, they would have gone with a modern, quiet one, that had inflight WIFI capabilities?
Well I guess you have had no experience in putting together aircruises and understanding the economics thereof.
It is entirely possible that those who go on these aircruises have no interest in wifi in the air. They are much more interested in looking out, talking to each other and making new friends. They dont need to talk to each other via Iphones when they are next to each other, unlike the current generation.
Have you ever tried to look out of a passenger window on a B787 or an A380 given the seating configurations? On the 787 if one passenger or indeed a crew member doesnt like the light coming in the adjacent window, then the whole side of the cabin windows gets blacked out. Progress not!

Nothing precluding you doing these things AND providing the "basic" necessities on a luxury RTW tour (like wifi, lower altitude pressurisation/humidity, and quiet cabins) for those that want them as well.
