Surely you can't be serious Kent.
The QF B747-300s are dreadfully unreliable at present and have given untold grief to thousands of long suffering passengers to and from Perth for over 12 months. Hardly a day goes by without lengthy delays or cancellations.
On Monday my wife was returning to Perth from Sydney and the 747 due to fly QF575 went unserviceable. Luckily QF was able to substitute an A330-300which was arriving from Shanghai so she finally got away after a 2 hour delay. This follows a 90 minute delay on the PER-SYD leg last Monday week.
And friends of ours who travelled to Melbourne a few weeks ago endured 3 and 4 hour delays on both legs.
There are countless other incidents that could be mentioned also.
The B747-300s must be nearing the end of their lives and will be replaced later in the year. They're probably only good for scrap and parts now and I think QF will be glad to see the end of them.
