QF B789 delivery flight details
AusBT has shared details of the QF B789 delivery flight, which the website has been invited on (lucky sods, what a great trip that would be!).
Flight number is QF7879, arrives SYD at 7am on Fri Oct20 after a stopover at HNL the day before. Full details at https://www.ausbt.com.au/community/v...elivery-flight |
Arr, the old overnight-stop-on-the-ferry trick! :=:D
Callsign's a bit tacky too, what about the standard QF6001? |
An obvious question: why isn't the aeroplane being flown non-stop Seattle-Sydney?
|
According to AusBT comment on the thread, the HNL stopover is mainly about timing for media and maximising publicity by arriving into SYD at 7am for morning TV shows.
|
Wonder if it will be mentioned that other trailblazing airline powerhouses such as Azerbaijan Airlines and Uzbekistan Airways have had them for a while.

Of course the mandatory female pilots will be front and center for the media show. "Diversity" is the new black.
|
When Ethiopean Airlines celebrated the arrival of their "Game Changer", it was crewed by two white, middle aged, male, hetro sexual Christians - now that's just wrong.
|
Will it have "YES" painted all over it?
|
Arriving in Sydney at 7am would mean departing Seattle around 10pm?
Maybe Boeing staff don’t like working after 5pm. :} |
I wonder if it will park next to a Jetstar 788! Somehow I think not. On a serious note even though the publicity makes me want to vomit, it's a very positive event for all the long suffering Qantas crew. Enjoy!

What nonsense
What's with all this ridiculous hype about an aircraft type that years old arriving in Sydney. The only thing different than many other B787's is the white rat on the tail.
No big deal but plenty of bovine excreta about it. Much ado about nothing!!!!:yuk::yuk::yuk::yuk::yuk: |

Who cares if other carriers have been flying them for years?
Notwithstanding the first bunch that went to the cheap seats, it's a new toy for QF and good luck to them. |
Rubbish. It's all publicity, and Qantas is getting heaps and heaps of it.

You expect them to shrug that off? People drumming up new services for em; they'd be hung if they didn't Get over it folks |
In fairness, Virgin wheeled Branson out for a new paintjob on a second hand A330 and no-one criticised VA for self promotion.
