QF 787

It appears that all the B787 are still in Australia.
Could it be an attempt to scare pilots into taking LWOP?
Why announce they will hibernate in the desert but they stay here?

Spinner I heard they are outsourcing all the pilots jobs on the 787 to Zimbabwe Airways.

No, Bain are buying them. They are going to fly them under the Modern Pilot’s Award. Flown by the Flight Attendants who vote “yes”.

QF are waiting on the government to make a decision on additional charters and a potential increase in the current IFAM (LAX, LHR)

That is why when the announcement was made to fly them half way around the world and put the in deep hibernation I didn’t believe it.
makes no sense to park your best aircraft, in the current environment.
I was therefore curious if there was a different agenda.

Look I’m absolutely sure you’re right. I immediately leap to conspiracy theory style explanations to explain simple events.

They'll be used for flights to nowhere.
