I would bet either:

FRA or LHR if going to Europe (FRA because *A and LHR because LHR)

or

SFO or ORD if going to the US (both because *A / UA hubs).

Presumably they already have a sense of what the F traffic is like on ORD - ICN from the brief time the 777 spent on that route and they should have a sense for FRA since it's currently being served by a 744 with F on it.

If they go FRA they're competing against LH and the 748 but they're also replacing a 744 of their own. If they go LHR they're competing against BA / KE but no *A member. If they go ORD same deal - they're just going against KE. If they go SFO they're competing against SQ, UA, and KE.
