Request for info about unused EK 777's

I wonder if I might be permitted to ask about Emirates 777 fleet in respect of a rumour that has started at BA?

Although it seems pretty certain that we will take up our option for 10 aircraft in 2008, the rumour mill says that we will be leasing "unused 777-300's" from Emirates as they are "parked in the desert".

Is this true? Do you know of any new aircraft that have been delivered but not put into service?

Notwithstanding that we couldn't crew any extra machines for about 4 to 6 months, would any EK pilots care to lay this one to rest..............
