Does anyone know where the aircraft will be coming from?

If it is replacing the B762F, than surely it will only operate out of Sydney, but Qantas do operate a nightly Melbourne service, with a passenger B763.

Inquiring minds want to know but await word from QF.

While being de-iced in Frankfurt last night I was looking at the Lufthansa Cargo MD-11s and was wondering when this would happen. Great news!

Will the word 'Freight' be italicised like the 'Spirit of...' titles? I feel the Kangaroo on the tail would make it look complete. Qantas tried the lack of a tail logo (and less of the tail being covered) with the regional subsidiaries when QF and TN merged. It wasn't long before the standard Qantas logo prevailed. It makes sense. (Wasn't the first 733 in Qantas livery a sight to see? Or the Twin Otters of Australian Regional (absorbed into Sunnies)? Or the Shorts...)

I was always a fan of the AustraliaAsia 'ribbon' logo. Perhaps something freight-like could be thought up? Or maybe just the Kangaroo, I digress..

Why can't Qantas use their own pilots for this? Another decision which I feel will affect morale at QF.
