Seriously, as one of QR regular Manchester passengers, I'd love to see 787's on the route, and am in a position to be able to have a try at booking on the first MAN flight to be operated by one.
Dreamliners on the Manchester's will make economic sense as the airline does have difficulty filling the C30 Y275 configuration 333's that currently ply the route. I've flown it umpteen times and most have been only moderately well loaded. The lower capacity, coupled with reduced operating costs, make it a very attractive and viable proposition.
The 787s will have 22 J seats and 220 Y seats approx, so its a significant reduction in capacity.
