I was talking to a Qantas flight attendant a few weeks back and she said that B767's needed to be retired!

I don't think anyone is disagreeing with that! I've had them say that to me about 3 years ago! :p

Perhaps you should say, had the plane been on time and Qantas not changed/deferred their orders ;) Lets not forget only a year ago Qantas made the following changes:

Jetstar's first 15 787s will now be 787-9s, not 787-8s and will arrive in mid-2013.
The 15 deferred 787-8s will be put into domestic operations starting in the 4th quarter of 2014 over the following 12 months.
The remaining 20 787-9 will be for Qantas and Jetstar operations, with the first deliveries in the 4th quarter of 2015 through 2017.
Total firm order stands at 50 787s, down from 65, with options for 50 more.
