Take Five...
The 789 has not been built so how can it be overweight? Boeing are ahead of the self imposed schedule to get the over weight out of the 788 by Line # 90 and with the 789 at something like Line #130 there is no reason why it should not come in on weight. From PIANO-X calculations based on a 126t DOW it will haul a 280 seat passenger load 8000nm. For a 7000nm ESAD sector, which is about SYD-LAX-SYD it will haul the same passenger load plus 9t of cargo.
