What are they planning to do with those? Fly to every grass strip in the Pacific?

Actually, around 20 or so will go to JetStar international which will be giving 4 A330-200s from Qantas. The rest will replace the domestic and international b767-300s in the fleet and the extra will surely be used to fly around Asia and North America from not only Sydney but other airports around the country.
Btw, the ordered the B787-8 and B787-9 variants. No B787-3s which would have been ideal for CityFlyers services....

I would think that the A380 delays were a major factor in this decision.

HOLY SH!T!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Obviously 767s, but any news if the A330s are being replaced with these?
The only sweeter thing is if the 748 was ordered.

The A330's are fairly new, so if they were smart-ish they'd keep the 330's.

That makes Boeing more sucessful than airbus, they have to be approaching the breakeven line, and they have not even built one yet.

WOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WAY TO GO BOEING!!! 
this order makes RYANAIR's look small! 
well done Boeing and Qantas..I really think Boeing makes the best long-haul planes, Airbus will always be behind in that unless something big comes out of their factory (and I don't mean bigger than the A380, I mean more successfull...don't get me wrong, being European I want Airbus to be out there equal with boeing, but I think they already are in the smaller aircraft! CONGRATS again!

That is nice. If you think about it, Airbus and Boeing actually have done a good job on dominating the large aircraft market. If they were to put any effort into a regional 50-80 seat or 70-100 seat aircraft, they may get some more sales. The experience and technology they have means they could outclass some of the other regional aircraft already out there.

I read that the A330s would be kept. However, the 4 A332s would be giving to JetStar to start in 2007 (not sure on the date) with international service, i would presume and be immediate replaced with B787-8s...
The A380s will be mainly seen on routes to LHR and LAX and possibly, SFO is the route becomes successful. Qantas would surely be ordering the A380s if it meets Qantas' needs and actually meets or exceeds expectations.

The reason Embraer is so succesful in the 70-110 range is because of the fact that they start fresh with every design instead of taking another plane and shrinking/enlarging it like B and A have done on several occasions.

Yeah, that's one reason the B717 was so under sold. It looks too much like a DC9 or MD for most companies. Such a pity to have to end production on a nice handling aircraft.

Don't forget that the ERJ-ERJ 135/140/145 come from the 120 design! so not completely true there! More modern though, and no propeller
oh sorry..yes you are right, I thought you meant embraer family in general, but you were only refering to the 70-100 market, but we can still say that the 190/195 comes from the 170/175, exept different wing!

Bring the 736/737/738/739/A318/A319/A320/A321 down here fast!
The 736/A318's would be ideal to replace the B717's.
The 737/738/A319/A320 would be ideal for a expanded Cityflyer network.
The 739/A321 would be Ideal for Jetstar (between East Coast and NZ.)
Also a few A343/A345's would be nice, esp. A345, but the B787's will do...
Also need a few B773-LR's...
