VB to get B787's
 

Just wait and see :ok:

No big deal...everyone's waiting for their 787's.

There's 15 "early" slots that Qantas passed up available.

So Gunger, you're privy to some 'inside' info, are these aircraft for DJ Domestic, Pac Blue or V Oz?

So they are not getting anymore ERJ-190s ? damn. lol

Gunger.

If you want to impress look into that crystal ball and state when ANYONE will get a 787.

The wing box redesign was still underway last I heard, and when are they going to do the cold soak trials in Canada. Or are they going to build the largest icebox in the world?

No-one is getting 787s:O

Believe it when it's parked in the hangar is a phrase that comes to mind.

Neville, I think that the hangar's the only place it will ever be, not much chance of it ever flying!!

Yes and Ansett ordered A340s for ULH routes as well, where are they now.

B777-200 LR's will be the next announcement. ;)

What makes you think that they will get -200LRs when they have orders for -300's??

:sad:

Sydney - New York maybe??

The only thing left of the 787 dreamliner is the Dream....

Rumour few weeks back on here said the A320, which was indeed a rumour, and now its the bloody 787.

Howabout the 800 seater A380?

Now now, Godfrey hasn't left just yet - my bets on a few 727s. Although rumour has it he's caught wind of a few local 732s going for a song... Would fit in well with the whole 'be green - recycle' rhetoric! They could even send them on those 'final frontier' routes like ISA-DPS, and ZNE-PMQ (via LST).

Bigger aircraft = more empty premium economy seats.

Happy to be proven wrong - after all, my mortgage depends on it!

Launcher for the 389? :}

How many different airframe engine combinations will that make?
Obviously trying to beat the Ansett record!:ooh:

About time they stretched it, looks a bit squat at the moment
:ok::}

What do you mean "stretch it" they can fit 800 all econ in the bloody thing now! Air Astana already has 2 all economy A380's on order. Imagine the funky smell on that thing when you de-bus!

If the rumours are true about an unspecified type, maybe it will be a turboprop? ATR's? I heard that some of the regional ports that the E Jet was meant to go to, didnt meet the PCN of the E Jet's. Who knows...:rolleyes:
