As far as I am aware EK is not going to upgrade older 77W's to new F. And as there are no more 77W's to be delivered, there will most likely be no other routes to get new F (unless any of the current routes are relegated to old F).
Of course this changes when the new generation 777's start being delivered but as far as I can remember that will only be in the second half of 2020. No idea how these will be configured.
