GF? Not till after 2016, as that was their original delivery date back when the 787 was scheduled to be released in 2008. But it all depends on if they still exist by then and have the money to pay for them, as they haven't come up with it yet. They also constantly talk about how they're in discussions with the manufacturers A and B about reshuffling orders to narrow bodies as the deal was done before Majali came in and changed the Airlines priorities.

Etttiihad, Wikipedia says 2013/2014 sometime. I would think the later, if not after.
