And it's a United hub which makes it difficult

A nice little rumour - admittedly (at least partially) induced by wishful thinking:
SFO is also the hub of Virgin America - very nicely placed between (what is soon to be) Virgin Pacific and Virgin Atlantic:ok:

The DFW BNE sector on the QF* is showing as 16:00 hours.

That would pretty much preclude much freight on a full ship and would it not mean unscheduled visits to NAN if a seagull farted in front of the 744?

Just curious - seems an awful long haul.

Would make sense in some regard from Voz perspective however good luck getting a slot to land there. I think QF make this mistake in the 90's, left the market then tried to get back in and had to wait years for a slot.

Not sure DFW is A380 capable/accredited, memory is faded a bit but the everything needs widening to prevent FOD to the outboard engines and there are other issues with passenger egress etc.
DFW's International terminal D is set up for A380s. The only question was with the freighter versions, the bridges are only rated to 1.25 million pounds so a full freighter would have to stay on which ever side of the airport it was loaded on.
