BA to ... B.A. non stop

I was just reading a flight review of a BA trip to Buenos Aires (very good one too, from BA's perspective) and the reviewer said there were plans to fly nonstop to Buenos Aires in '07; is this correct. Presumably a 777 trip?

Also, is there any more news on when BA might be opening its chequebook again, for new aircraft purchases? Has the whole pensions issue been sorted out yet?

With Boeing now having made the 747-8I the same length as the freight model (and closing the capacity gap on the 380, I'm wondering if it would be of interest to BA. I can't see BA ordering new 747s/380s on a one for one basis to replace 744s, but rather a combined 773ER/748I deal, but of course it remains to be seen when that might happen ...
