I know where Ray is going because I put up with it all the time. |
I think most of the capacity cuts are already published:
*A332 replacing A333s on all china routes mean that they reduce seats by around 60 per flight. *All B744s that operate to LHR now have PE fitted which means around 30 seats less in total per flight compared with 12 months ago. *PE is being fitted to added to all USA B744 flights over the next 6-12 months meaning reduced capacity. *2x daily CNS-NRT is cut from next month freeing up 2 B763s which have not been redeployed. *Last A332 arrives next month and hasnt been deployed so thats "1 A330-200 which will be spare" *As for the 6 B744s which will be grounded, simple they will be replaced by A380s over the next 18 months. I dont think we will see any other MAJOR changes. |
Brad i agree .It is all in the wording of the Qantas statement which can be a little ambiguous.Also are the last 743'S apart of all this as not mentioned in statement ??? They are equivalent to a 744 capacity and even more.
I believe the A320 mentioned may come off of BNE-DRW-DPS ??? after march 09 which will release 1 A320 . Cheers Lloyd |

As for SYD-MEL we have already seen a marked increase in 73Hs (in response to fleet availability and a softening market). Though I think they are being used at the wrong times in some instances. The vast majority of widebodies on SYD-MEL go out with loads too great for the 73Hs. Hence why I think their use in warranted. You make it seem as if Qantas operates the widebodies out of pride? |
