As a grumpy 744 Captain, you also need to remember the time of year is a big factor.

CPT or JNB midwinter is not the same destination as a CPT or JNB in the summer. The east coast of the USA is best avoided all winter, and for most of the summer. OK in the spring and the fall... just. India is best avoided in the monsoon, and HKG in the typhoon season. Midsummer in the UK is also midwinter in SYD... so for me I will bid for a SYD in the UK winter, but never in the UK summer... and so on.

So as a junior pilot on the fleet all destinations are available, but less availiable according to the season and the day of the week.
