In my opinion, I don't think they will delay the 787. I think jet star cannot wait to service Europe and the USA.

Edit*** apologies I did not register the qantas fleet. Not sure on that one, as jet star grows It would compete with qantas routes more and more, so possibly more 787 to jet star as opposed to qantas.

787's will be the reason Qantas International no longer exists.

Jetstar will operate them to most destinations

Once a very good former QANTAS pilot told me while i was in hospital that qantas was feeding all there pilots and stuarts into jet star = something wicked this way comes!

"Stuarts" ?

And maybe some "Bruces" as well ?

On a side-note it's hardly surprising that QF would add jets to EMD, F100/B717 seemed inevitable once DJ stuck ATR72s in there. It's an easy win for QF and a silly move for DJ.

Although I have to ask, what is the fascination with contracting F100s from QQ instead of using their own B717/E190, even if they had to lease a couple extra to fit into the flying program?
