Seems like every airline in the world is operating (or soon about to operate) 787's except for QF!!!

To be fair the 787's will be coming to JQ shortly

AJ had a choice to either give them all to QF, all to JQ or even split them between Qf/jq. Instead they're all going to jq.

All the first batch of the smaller 787s are going to JQ.

There's little doubt QF will be getting them from 2016, which is when their options kick in for the larger versions (but yes, this is still to be officially confirmed).

Anyone want to bet on when VA will get some?

Probably before QF, they are announcing their decision end of year.
