Qantas 747-800s?
[QUOTE=B2N2;11095169]Well technically it’s a BOEING - 747-87UF
Not so sure about that, didn't Boeing drop customer numbers before the 747-8 was rolled out????
I know it was sometime after the rollout of the 787 as the first lot had customer numbers but since then, they are all either -8 or -800.

It goes back further than that. I recall making a submission to TAA/Australian, about a plan to boost utilisation of the dwindling DC9 fleet around 1988. I got the classic "there's no money in freight". I think Dixon was still in TAA sales at that time. Infected with the same poisonous idiocy as that other Strong clown.

The domestic mindset that infected Qantas was damaging as it didn’t have any understanding of international markets, including freight. The three combis (B74Ms) were always full of freight wherever they went. I don’t think the freight was carried as an act of charity!

They f@@%#&^# TAA and then did the same sort of work to the Q.
The industry is better off without them and would be far better off had they never been near the joint. IMHO

Yeah, so much money that 60 pilots have resigned from Atlas in the last month. Heeeeaps.
