QF/Finnair A330 Wetlease

So AJs lack of investment in expansion and fleet renewal will be his lasting legacy,

How sad.

What Joyce doesn’t say is that it’s to replace the two 330s that have gone to be converted to freighters and that has lowered the divisor for his own 330 pilots as well as assigning leave to 787 pilots. A total failure of management, but you would not expect anything less.

Wait, who will be flying these leased machines?

Finn

Definitely a win for passengers. Better hard product and service. Well that’s the sad bit actually.

Depends if they get the 330's with the AirLounge. I'd say Finnair would be flogging off the ones that haven't been refurb'd yet.

Certainly is the new birds. Perhaps they might learn a few things, on how product and service is done right. The bit around training Finn staff on ‘Qantas customer service’ standards is highly insulting.

Who is operating the new BNE-WLG flights announced today in the E190?

Alliance?

Yea that’s what I suspected, not sure an aircraft with no IFE is a great choice in the Tasman.

They'll say Alliance until the 220s are ready.

Wet leased crew from Finnair for 2 years.

Then in two years time the lease becomes dry, and QF pilots and cabin crew will operate those extra 2 aircraft.

Or will it be a QF crewing company, utilising Australian contractors for 3 years.

Reminds me of the 767 deal a few years ago.

Thread hijack! :=​​​​​​​

​​​​​​​It is all related isn’t it? Qantas flying farmed out.

My god, demand for travel post covid is back stronger than pre covid. I defy any of you to have predicted this, what responsible business does, particularly in the airline industry is wait for the demand to be confirmed by other airline stats, then order a few aircraft that take 5 or 6 years to be delivered. The other airlines will look after your customers til then, no probs. The aircraft will arrive just in time for the next manufactured global crisis. Qantas business planning 101.

190s to NZ have nothing to do with Finnair A330s. Unless you just want a "Qantas" thread.

Well as a frequent traveller in Finnair their aircraft are more comfortable than the Qantas product so maybe this will drive good change.

Just like Air NZ wet leasing an Airbus from Europe - false promises to customers that all aircraft and crew would be fully trained for business!!
