The first operation of a B788 will be on flight AA44, JFK-CDG, in January. Flight deck crews will begin training next month.
I personally do expect to see some domestic flying with the ships, perhaps JFK-MIA.

Lame why not open a new route that is only viable with the 788

No mystery as to the "source" of this, info came from right here:
http://www.airliners.net/aviation-fo....main/6058218/
Of course it's nice to attribute when clipping info directly from other sites.

what route would only be serviceable via a 788 and not any other plane in the fleet?

Shakedown cruise. Get pilots and cabin crew familiar with the new type. While the 767s are still in the fleet there's no need to rush the 787s.
UA did the same thing, I snagged J on the 788 ORD-IAH a few times.

do you think EZE (in any AA route (JFK,3xMIA,DFW)) will get a 788?
EDIT: it's 3x MIA routes every day..

Probably not given both the passenger and cargo demand to EZE. Maybe DFW-EZE in the off season. But probably not. I'd think EZE would be more ripe for a 77W given the actual demand for F (only route I've ever had a J to F upgrade not clear on despite being requested 9 months out).

My mistake, I meant 2-4-2. However, as you said, they may go the B763 way, and keep the layout the same as in the Main Cabin. Do you know how many J seats are planned?
