Bazza,

you're not seriously telling us that QF are going to buy A340s, are you???
I would expect the 772LR is way more capable than the A345 and similarly the 773ER over the A346. I can see QF going for 787 and JQ for A350, however. I just wonder how big the JQ International order will be in the 1st place.
I also believe FJ's fleet renewal will be part of this order and Margaret Jackson confirmed on last weeks's Business Sunday, that the order could be well in excess of 100 aircraft(lots of options, obviously). Her comments in that interview mentioned aircraft for overflying hubs and more point-to-point routes. I think that is called "hub-busting".
I still expect this to be a majority Boeing order.
