Just cross your fingers the rest behave over the coming peak few weeks as the schedule is stuffed if one goes out of service. When I say schedule, generally JQ7/8

Isn't that normal case for the jq 787s... Heck most of the QF widebody these days?

Yes, JQ7 and JQ8 are almost always the first to be cancelled.

The B788 rosters seem pretty tight.

I'm booked onto the semi-mythical JQ7 service in November connecting onto BA J. Am hoping it gets cancelled and I'm rebooked onto QF35 instead (or better still flying on rev fares right through).

(Don't want to have to break my habit of booking JQ for long haul international but not actually flying it )
