Qantas shakes up Sydney-Hong Kong with overnight flights
Nov 28, 2018, 08:52 AMI wonder if this is also in interim measure for them - that they will 'bank' the night flight slots now and then keep angling to get day return flights over the next few months?

Alan Joyce: Qantas won't rush on follow-up Boeing 787 orders
Feb 05, 2018, 02:01 PMThis makes sense. I mean why would he say they were going to rush in and get more 787's, given that it would look like the whole "get 8 and test them out" story would be out the window, and given that they don't need to announce the next ones yet? There's nothing to gain and everything to lose fr...

What routes for Qantas' next six Boeing 787s?
May 28, 2018, 07:53 AMMy theory is that this is evidence of Qantas' negotiation tactics with CASA over ETOPS. I think they are hoping that a public appearance to exchange the 747s to 787s on a 'one for one' basis will assist in their argument that they're the required jet for SYD-SCL and SYD-JNB.
