Evening all,

Apparently this made its first visit to Syd today as QF118 sporting the new QF livery.

A busy day by all accounts.

Thought it would have been more economical having a 738 on that route.

QF47 is SYD-WLG, not SYD-CHC.

I think the cheaper crews propbably make up for the fuel costs!

[Tim Bowrey]

It was in again thismorning but landed 16L so bad for photos. Didnt look too bad but I can't say it was the best but non the less another one in new colours.

Cheaper crews coupled with the more fuel efficient 738 would be even better wouldn't it?

[Mike W]

^ But Jet Connect don't have any 738's..

[NickN]

Qantas can't reshuffle?

[Mike W]

Qantas can't reshuffle?

It's a seperate company (although same owner) I don't think they can shuffle but I guess they could transfer if it were economically viable.

[Adam G]

It's not quite as easy as reshuffling.

Jetconnect would need to add the 800 to their AOC, get their tech crew a NG conversion, do a differences course for their cabin crew etc etc.

That being said it's surely only a matter of time, the 300/400's aren't as competitive on a product nor capacity basis with PB 800s or NZ 320s.

Compare these two pictures of ZK-JTR:

327

Can someone tell me why the LH engine is on the RH side in picture 2? I am positive that the engine strake sits on the inboard of the engines.:confused:

Also, note that the brow windows have been removed.

Also, note that the brow windows have been removed.

A few of the original VX series 800s have had them removed as well. VXG and VXK spring to mind.
