Does anyone have info on the Boeing 777 delivery schedule for QR this year.......when are they scheduled to arrive?

Also, are QR actually getting type rated flight crew for the 777? (i wouldnt have thought there are many type rated crew waiting for jobs, or any others who would leave their current jobs if they are flying the 777.

MMS, the third one is coming by end of july is a 777-300ER.
#4 & #5 by October to operate Houston in NOvember 777-200LR.
They are hiring only DEC in 777, but really difficult to get it, because other companies who operates 777 are offering commuting for expats pilots, eg Korean,Asiana,Jet Airw.,Air India , Vietnam.

Actually, there will be 1 B777 joining the fleet every month from July until December. So 6 more to come this year, and there will be a total of 8 by the end of the year, including 2 LRs.
