I wouldn't trust the information found on EK's website.
Take EK843 (DXB-DOH) today for example:
Scheduled: B773
EK Website: B77W
Actual: B77L
It's the luck of the draw really.

The tone is getting better regarding the wing crack issue.
Expect some interesting news at either Farnborough, or ILA Berlin.
