It will be a Jetstar route. Lets face it when they workout LCC's dont work they will paint Jetstar into Qantas livery. Everyone outside of Qantas can see it. AIPA sure cant.....or maybe they can????

Give me DFW over LAX any day.

Maybe it will be JQ operating to DFW?!

"Jetstar partners with American Airlines"

Jetstar partners with American Airlines | The National Business Review - New Zealand - business, markets, finance, politics, property, technology and more

This article talks of AA giving pax to JQ in NZ, but it could certainly work the other way ex DFW!

AKL-DFW? Probably beyond the 330's range but certainly a possibility with the 78's.

This, the flights to Texas, came up when Continental announced that they will be flying direct from Houston to Auckland from November 2011 with their 787 Continental Airlines Announces New Services to New Zealand > New Zealand

If it does happen with QF, hope they get an early start and do well out of it.

Latest fattys rumour is back to Amsterdam via Bangkok using 332s.. this should make the bus pilots a bit happier with some more international flying:ok:

And where will the extra A330 capacity come from?

Hopefully they're taking them off the LAX/JFK/LAX route - what a stupid idea that was!

Impending announcement for twenty new red tail A330's will solve any airframe shortage problems.

TL 330 to come off LAX/JFK/LAX and return to the 744 (new config).
PVG to go to 744 daily.

Service will originate out of Melbourne on the days JQ doesn't fly and will link up with the Qf 1 out of Sydonee:D

Sign me up! Anything that avoids LAX.

I like this dude already! :ok:

I have my doubts about twenty new A330's. Unless they do a massive recruiting campaign, there won't be enough pilots, unless of course they are to replace the 767's but over what period of time?

I hope you guys dont think Qantas will be doing these routes. If you do can you explain to me why you are so naive.

So BBB, you are formally dropping the pretence of being a QF pilot now? Being a troll is obviously more fun.

For what it is worth, I heard from one fairly high up that the 380 will be doing more LAX next year and Dallas is seriously being considered for the 744.

744 ER SYD/DFW/BNE from Feb 2011.

Nice.

Very nice :ok:

Good news if it's true!!!

Will that mean a reduction in BNE-LAX-BNE services?

Or pulling out of SFO ???

It took us 11 years to get back when we mistakingly did so last time.

Could management be so stupid again? [he says rhetorically]

Negative reduction in BNE schedules.Hearing some interesting plans for BNE late next year.
I think Off chocks may also mean BNE-LAX

I once knew a Lesbian named Dallas, but that's another story.
