Re: Jet Star 787 - Looks pretty good!
I get that the Airbus aircraft coming over from JQ are still young, and with a new fitout when most passengers step on board would be none the wiser.
Most of the AFF regulars understand that.
My point was that outside our little community of airline enthusiasts there is the perception that QF is getting hand-me-downs from JQ.
The general public isn't going to go and research this and then conclude that the Airbus metal is still good. They just make a judgement based on what they read in the newspapers.
If the Qantas "Group" wants to swap aircraft back & forth like this without the perception that JQ is getting preferential treatment - well I'd start with putting 2 logos on the first 787, running it on QF routes for a month or two before quietly shipping it over to JQ for good.
