Would have liked Qantas to have kept an old rego block, such as VH-OG* (767's) or VH-TJ* (734s).
Yes I agree Jacob. Even older registration blocks such as VH-EA*, VH-EC*, VH-ED*, VH-TA*, VH-TB* would have been iconic for a new step change aircraft such as the 787-9.

It is all VH-X**, VH-Y** & VH-Z** now as other aircraft have been allocated the old blocks. I wonder when Australia will go to four digit registrations such as V-HEAA or VH-*EAA?

Registration marks can only be reserved for 12 months now, so I dont think Qantas had much choice in the matter. The ZX marks are now mostly AW139s with Hunter Rescue, so they are being recycled quick.

I am just watching VH-TJJ flying around Sydney as Rescu 207 which is an Agusta Westland AW139 helicopter.

A lot of the TJ regos have gone to other operators unfortunately. For example TJI & TJK are now AW139 helicopters with the ANZ bank. Sad to see unfortunately

The TJ series AW139 were financed by ANZ but operated by Helicorp (Toll), 8 in total looking after the southern region NSW Ambulance contract.

What's interesting is the northern ones also used the ex QF rego as I already mentioned despite being SLSA.

What are the chances of QF adding an extra dedicated toilet for Business and an extra 2-3 pitch for Premium Economy? Its clear that many, many people are disappointed with these two aspects of products.

If it doesn't work out in the real world, they can change it.

I must say that I'd be more worried as one of the other 194 people having to share 4 bathrooms than the 40 business seats sharing 3.

But I hadn't realized PE was so measly on pitch. Some others have up to 40"

That ratio is better than the a333, and thank goodness 717s dont do long haul with their 1 toilet for 100 odd y seats.
