EKs 77W 2 class are 42J/385Y, you must carry a lot of infants all the time to have 445 passengers.
I would see zero chance of QF operating them 7 across in business (three business seats in the middle), and 10 across in economy.
DXB-SFO nil wind is 1700 nm further than the 77W can fly with max structural payload, it will be payload limited (MTOW limit).
Are you sure about that flight time ? 7100 nm (DXB-SFO) in 16 hours would be an average speed of around M0.77, slower than a 737.
