What choice do you think Qantas has when every airline is using 3-3-3 in economy. The Cozysuite looks like it will be used which will make it the best 787 economy with at least 18 inch seats.

Not every airline, but very nearly. Pity. Like a 10-abreast 777 it's not good for long haul.

Indeed. The B777X will solve this problem providing 18inch seats in a 10 abreast configuration.

What's the chances of Qantas ordering more 787-9s later this year when they announce the new routes. Ausbt said they are tipped to firm up more orders this year. Comment?

Seems like a pretty good chance. I've heard some very convincing information which, if it proves true, would account for 3-4 aircraft out of the 8 currently on firm order.

you mean 3-4 aircraft will be used to launch new routes out of the first 8 787s ordered?

If what I've been told is correct, and if it comes off, then yes... something like that. It would take 3, definitely.

I guess Alan must be ordering more 787s beyond the 8 announced so they can launch more than one new route. Another 10-12 would open up another 3-4 routes.

Or, another 10 or 12 could open 10 or 12 new routes. Depends what the routes were, in terms of sector times, turnarounds, slots, etc.

Oh ok, yeah I guess your right given all the variability we you mentioned depending on the routes.
