VH-OQA to return to Service in March
I hope I'm not doubling up on this thread, I've searched "VH-OQA" and found nothing current in this forum. Did you see this article by Brian Schofield in Aviation Week?

Solution is very simple...
QF can give the most unattractive aeroplane back, and purchase 777's & 747-8's. |

Agreed, it is a bit late but it would have been a wise choice. Especially the 777s with Australias location. They would open so many more oppotunities for qantas. They could be used on runs such as Dallas, Johannesburg etc. Oh well it is what it is.

We've been over this numerous times. :-) The only 777 that makes sense for QF is the future 777-X and the potential for an economic non-stop to LHR. The A380/787 strategy made more sense had it not been for the delays.
Oh and the 747-8i makes no sense sadly. So wonderful, yet too late. If an A380 had dropped out of the sky, may have been a different story. But yes lots of ??? around the 380 still given the build issues/reliability etc. |

My prediction-
they will not get the 777 or 748. Simple as that. Many seem to forget QF were the launch customer for the 777 in the 90s and then as suddenly as that happened, became one of the only major international carriers without any orders for the plane. Why this happened, I cannot quite understand, maybe someone could expand on that? |

Not quite right Matt. Qantas were part of a group of customers who helped guide Boeing in the development of the 777, but never held any orders for it, the only member of that group that didn't order.
