The oldest QF 800s arrived in early to mid 2002,they were the ones destined for American but came to QF instead due to 9/11 & Ansett going under.
Dont think their reliability is worth boasting about right now,its being covered up by the availability of plenty of under utilised spare aircraft sitting around.
