Qantas to replace 747-438's with new B787-938'S next year

"The CEO Allan Joyce has announced that Brisbane or YBBN/BNE will replace the Boeing 747-438's currently servicing YBBN/KLAX as QFA15, QFA16 as early as next year... the new Boeing 787-938's will replace them." Utter nonsense - how do you come up with this rubbish, and how on earth do people upvote it? The first Boeing 787-9 won't even be delivered until the end of 2017, with the rest of the initial order of eight stretched from 2018 to mid-2019!
