QF 7879 routes
With only eight QF 789s in the first order, and both PER-LHR and MEL-LAX announced, there should be enough left over for another route or two to be announced? Definitely sufficient for one more daily if it's Asia with quick turnaround, but what else?

Routes
The Pilots union negotiators had to sign a confidentiality agreement before the EBA for the 787 was signed.
The EA document specified potential routes including many in Asia.

With only 236 seats and a greater proportion of Business seats than normal, it will go where there is a well established premium market or the prospect thereof.
Paxing All Over The World
South Africa does already have PER-JNB with SAA. However, it's possible that QF are thinking of PER-CPT, as it's likely that aircraft will be based at PER.

How would that fit in with duty limits? I'm not QF but my lot have recently cracked down on commuters perceived to be not adequately rested prior to a duty. The lawyers are getting restless.
I've heard this rumour getting around lately that Qantas won't allow crew to commute to a potential PER 787 base. I can certainly see the logic in preventing people from paxing over before operating a ULR duty. However there is nothing in the EBA that allows them to block someone from taking a promotion based on where the plan on living and there is no way AIPA would agree to such a stipulation.
You may find the new FRMS will make it extremely difficult to commute then operate on the same day.
So they might be able to enforce some sort of control over the commuters.
