Qantas had some slots reserved during the initial rush of orders. That rush has now subsided so I doubt there is much pressure on slots further down the line, after all they have sold a massive 1 787 this year so far. Qantas will probably firm orders when the 787-10 is closer, after a comparison with the A350. They may also decide to take up the remaining A380s, depending on CASAs stance on longer ETOPS ops.
