QF LH CC..New Destinations?
New route codes in CIS standing bids have appeared.
Dont know whether we are doing it but FCO has reappeared together with longer JFK trips and longer FRA trips.

No rumour but fact, FCO will be done by the Classic, as well as the extra LAX charters for World Youth Day (operated via Nadi.)
Busy Bid Period coming up for the classic boys. Back to 3 x week AKL-LAX as well.

I bet they'll miss all those PER returns 
Have heard rumours that part of Boeing's compensation package for the late delivery of the 787 "may" involve them carrying out D checks on the classics........

If they are going to use the 300 to bring Herr Pope out for the Worlds biggest housie convention they might want to freshen it up a bit as well as a D check.

These are some of the latest rumours going around. Not sure how much truth in them but someone may know out there!
New pattern books for MEL will include trips to FRA, NYC shuttles and new Regionals.
This is unconfirmed, but from a very high level. The A380 will have a MEL base by year's end. This is due to the cost of paxing and accomodation for SYD base crew operating the A380 ex MEL.
Crews moving from Langham Place Hotel in HKG in 6 weeks. We're returning back to the Excelsior in Causeway Bay.
Premium Y/C to extend back as far as Doors 3 - an increase of pax from 32 to 40.
Concerns by some FAs over recent CSS appointments. There are claims that the company is favouring QCCA crews due to costs. The best may be chosen on the day, as they say, but the reality is that a QCCA CSM's pay is equal to a current FA. You do the sums.
Further concerns regard QCCA crews: This time with the Kiwis who are upset QCCA have taken away much of their flying.
Jetstar pulling out of Fukuoka & Nagoya. Why? Because the Japanese don't like nor want Jetstar. QF to reclaim these routes.
Another route QF mainline will be reclaiming back from Jetstar International is HNL. Airbus to operate from SYD.

Your rumours ...hope most of them become concrete.
As far as the AKL crew are concerned...they have no one to blame but themselves.
Qantas mainline still flies to HNL..4 times a week

Kiwis getting upset about an Australian airline giving "their" flying to Australians? 
If they want the flying I'm sure they could move over the ditch and try getting a job with QCCA - most of their countrymen are already here anyway!!!

Transition Layer,
... or they could try to get a job with AirNZ and not have any Aus/NZ argy-bargy to worry about (and spare the QCCA people the grief...
).
Oh that's right, maybe they tried AirNZ, got rejected, so went to the Rat instead.

-Jetstar are just about to start up a big Promotion with Japanese star "Becky". They are putting all this effort into Japan, and now going to pull out?
-HNL wise with JQ, if they pull this, do we get a free transfer to QF?(I actually prefer flying a new A330, compared to those horrid 767's
-Jetstar international must be going to get some new routes soon then. Athens musn't be too far off, we might see MEL-KIK, BNE-KIX. Expect a dogfight as AirAsiaX is coming into Town!

hope someone's budget/bonus will pay for the inevitable costs of the usual breakdowns of the classic in FCO. the costs were spectacular when it operated the PER/JNB in BP255, room nights numbered in the 1000s. does FCO still have the highest euro allowances?
when does Buenos Airies start?
yippee, back to the excelsior,HKG. are the V Atlantic hosties still there?
the HNL a/p manager wants even more flights, lot easier to sell than j*

patterns are out on the crew web site
quite a few FCO and some good NAN trips for some boys with slips.
This should make a few people happy
Some really good LAX and FRA
Generally some good patterns, with a few horrors thrown in.
