Not sure if this has been posted because looks like it has been changed today.

or giving more training time to crews as a result of the VAustralia announcement? After all, its pretty much A380 vs 777.

These reductions have been on the QF site for about 3 weeks now so nothing to do with VA and everything to do with delayed A380 deliveries.

From reading Australian Aviation last night the delays in delivery appear to be due to suppliers for the interior components of the aircraft. According to the AA story the V Australia 777 has been delayed until November and the next Emirates A380 delayed by a month.

My brother is travelling on the inaugural Sydney-Singapore QF 31 flight on Jan. 16th. Looks like that is still intact.
Yesterday he heard the tail end of a news item on Adelaide Radio 5AA which said............." delayed delivery of the next 7 aircraft " At the time he did not know if this referred to Qantas and the A380.

I'm just unsure if Sunday or Monday is referred to as Day 1. So with only 2 flights a week now, what will the A380 do on the other days? Operate any domestic routes to PER maybe, or just soak up the summer sun?

They should just incorporate a quick tour of the plane as part of the Airside Tarmac Tours for a small additional fee when the aircraft's sitting idle most days of the week.
