Bit of a reach to say QF are considering being one of the first....
If they order, QF would be one of the first to operate the -8X model. And, I'd call first 10 airlines in the world to operate a type 'one of the first', since there are a heck of a lot more than that. As for ordering v operating - I think actually flying it is the more important measure, compared to signing a contract for it.
