I have also had to use remote stands on the rare flights that land early, meaning it doesn't pay to be early.
with all due respect, crew don't have the faintest idea. I have a relative who is an A380 captain and I doubt he knows fully either but has indicated it has to do with the aircraft's next destination. So I think it depends more on where it's going to next (and when) rather than where it's coming from.

Also as stated, more 77Ws from Africa
