[Flying Fox]

Anyone have any pics of the new QF 737-800 interiors?

OGF and OGG (767s) have left the fleet this month.

Wasn't long ago that I flew on OGG ("Rockhampton")...twice this year actually.

Ferried to Singapore Monday!

Are the 763s going to soldier on somewhere, or head to Mojave (or similar)?

 

[frankxinyu]

how many more 767s does QF still have after this?

hope they start retiring those 737-400s soon too...

The 400s are slowly being replaced by new 800s coming into the fleet.

Give me a QF 734 anyday over a QF 767-336! :evil:

You just want the superior legroom in rows 4, 5 and 6 (and that is if you don't get a "pollie plane").

I believe they have been sold to a freight company.

I must say that I don't mind either, but give me row 43 on a -ZX bird any day

Am I right in thinking that OGE is still working? If so, do we know why she was skipped for retirement so far?

OGE is still working, I suspect cycles are the main reason!

 

[pm3207]

Seems so.... Anyone know if she's next to go after OGG (ie before OGH)?

Looked up the thread. The 1989 manual referenced within is pretty cool :shock:

Just saw this.

Ahh the memories......had completely forgotten about the divided F/J cabin on 767's! Still have my Old Gold card too. And to think that we all thought the Captains Club lounges were so smick!

That manual is a beauty. Never went on a 763 in that configuration, but remember some of the others. About 8 years ago went on a 762 to Noumea just weeks before it's retirement. It still had the J seats like those in the manual. I think they were the seats it was delivered with. I remember that F seat too, it was a very good seat.

OGF and OGG (767s) have left the fleet this month.

OGG and OGF were around 21 years old, good servants to the airline but those 787 replacements will do just nicely when they arrive.

And when will that be? Qantas don't even know

From Fairfax, "Mr Strambi said the first 787-9 was expected to be delivered to Qantas some time in 2014 or 2015 and would play a significant role in helping Qantas International improve."

Brilliant :!:
