Sounds like a sound plan. Must admit I was never a fan of the ATR72 but hope they maintain a presence on the SYD - CBR Route even if it's a less frequent 737 service.

Interested in the suggestion of targeting the Business Cabin at small/medium business and self employed. This looks to be a smart strategy for not only avoiding taking QF head on, but also an opportunity to target a potentially lucrative and mobile demographic often overlooked.

Remember the days when QF had an all 747 fleet ! That was big news at the time. Very sad to see these wonderful Aircraft retired. My first ever flight was on a QF 747 in 1981, SYD > SFO ( via HNL) and with a cockpit visit mid Pacific. Wonderful memories.

Great news. Sounds much more inviting. I wonder if this will see the end of “the trough” for good. Hope so!

Looking forward to flying again and happy to be masked and with sanitiser in hand if not provided. Lounge distancing seating will be fine. The challenge will be an improvement on cleanliness in food service areas and bathroom facilities. I'm sure Qantas will rise to the challenge.
