I'm booked to go to Austin in September. I thought Austin was a 787 route but looking at seats the map is for a 747.

Which made me wonder.... with the 787 ETOPs/EROPs problems are BA extending the use of some 747s beyond the announced retirement plans to help overcome the 787 problems? Austin can be a direct substitue because Bergstrom has a nice long runway but in other cases I guess subbing a 787 with a 777 on Newark (for example) would need that 777 to be replaced by a 747 on whatever route it had been flying.
