My flatemate is a Jetstar Flight attendant. She also mentioned within the Jetstar meetings they discussed using the 777 until the 787 came on line as Jetstar were looking at expanding to Italy and the UK.

As with composite. I understand it is much stronger than metal, however i have no idea how it perform in a fire or crash. Maybe they could simulate a crash as they did with the remote controlled 707 a few years back. $$$$.
