Assuming the routes are flown as scheduled (or best case scenario the routes are pushed back with equal offset and flown as they are), any thoughts to why the other cities are flown until TPE-NRT's daily flight?

Or, due to my unfamiliarity with BR scheduling, is the TPE-NRT route not even the permanent home of this 78J and that's subject to change based on demand? I'm guessing it's to do some test/familiarity runs with the new plane (especially the new seats)

For new aircraft you need more hours and legs on the routes so Tokyo is not the best option cause the amount of turns you can do is significantly less on training.

787-10 is there to replace regional 333 and 332 routes. It will also be used to up-gauge some 321 flights.

I would say Tokyo will have 78J available on 1 or 2 flights, but the usage will likely be EQV.
