1. Nobody knows for sure if Qantas is ordering more Boeing 787-9s this year except for Qantas and Boeing; everything else is speculation, on a sliding scale of "informed speculation" to "avgeek fanboy fantasy".
2. The timing of any such announcement falls into the same arena.
Bottom line: we'll know when we know. If more orders are announced on August 24th then we will know on August 24th.
After speaking to a Qantas Long Haul pilot, who said that qantas was going to finalize 10-15 787-9 planes every year, so it didn't spook the market and effect the stock price. Qantas has the price locked in...so more 787-9 here we come!!!
From my discussion with the Pilot, every year or so they are going to firm up the next batch. So soon they will book in the next batch for when this lot has been delievered. Their aim is no to say "We have finalised a $10 Billion dollar order" and spook the market, they are doing it is small bits.
Christopher, nobody really knows anything for sure about the Qantas Boeing 787 order, even what is being reported according to what a pilot said isn't really 'a reliable source', you hear all sorts of things from airline crews and most of them are wrong. Just relax on the QF 787 order.

August 24, and we have no expectations apart from that Qantas will likely report a stonking $1.5bn profit.
