QF cancels last 8 380 orders
"The aerial transport UNIT is an OUTSIZED PIECE that presents an ISSUE AROUND the AIRBORNE 'SPACE' and is potentially 'SUB-OPTIMAL' with respect to the negative profit 'SPACE', GOING FORWARDS" (not much room to 'celebrate success' or 'reset expectations' despite copious quantities of 'reaching out' and multiple 'ideation' sessions).
You'd be a failure as a manager because to succeed in management you would have to have said something like...

As I have no idea about what I typed, or what you replied, I think I am excellent Management material!

It's been a while since a thread has been this enjoyable.
Posts written supposedly by Pilots, whom one would think to be reasonably educated and intelligent!
If anything, I find this thread somewhat depressing!
Buster;
I can only comment on what I see going onto and coming off the NAT. The 747 can do M090 in a rush which I’ve never seen the fugly bus do, but fugly cruises at M086 whereas the Queen cruises at M085 in my experience. I can’t comment on what the upside down operators in Australasia do with both types as It’s been years since I spoke to a NZ 744 and I’ve never spoken to a Qantas.

The 380 cruises a little quicker, but it goes straight up and has a lower TAS.
The 74 cruises a tad slower, but stays lower for longer with a higher TAS. So it used to quite often overtake underneath.
I know what I’d rather fly. I also know what I’d rather pax in.
The 74 will probably still be flying on one form or another when the 380 is not.

Analysts, at least those who were not 'picked' to cover Qantas and attend 'special briefings' were long concerned with the book value of Qantas aircraft. It was something that puzzled as the value appeared high.
A top 4 auditor and executive management agree on book value. Such a lucrative job doesn't see too many questions asked!
Little Napoleon used (timed) the write down (impairment) of the International fleet in 2014 to claim the 'biggest loss' in Qantas' history. Unions fell over themselves to accept a pay freeze.
That the 'loss' was on paper and 'amazingly' coincided with a 'transformation' due less depreciation, the VERY NEXT YEAR, meant that all those incredibly co-incidental executive options could vest right when the share price accelerated!
Wash, rinse and repeat?
