787 is a bit faster at cruise than an A330, but I think EI plans some pretty conservative ground times at SFO. Their DUB-SFO is usually only around 10:20 in the air, but is blocked at 11:05. United's basic equation, with some adjustment, is 15 minutes push-to-departure and 5 minutes landing-to-parking

Would expect this to be a very business-heavy route. Motivation from UA would likely be a belief they can monetize that forward cabin, not as a "tourism" route as someone noted up thread.
