Has QF considered taking the 789s and leasing them out to anybody that wants them ? Or is this too much like the Ansett model ( of establish subsidiaries to run any sort of business from hotels to trucks ) ?
Qantas already leases most of its aircraft to itself...
eg, VH-OQA and VH-OQB are owned by QF BOC 2008-1 Pty Ltd, then leased to Qantas Airways Ltd.
