Innkeeper,
I would assume it will be flying trans-pacific to Asia for ANA. The Australian gig fell through in June. Europe is still an unknown. There are as many as 20 767's coming via Air China, so the rumor mill says. Oh how we yearn for the crystal ball.

other rumors for ETOPS or ER aircraft....
i have heard two other rumors for THE one, and only one, ER aircraft that we are getting from air china. 
(i love how all these rumors conflict with each other and common sense.) second one came from maintainers in osaka.
1- it will fly from miami to iberian peninsula, either lisbon or madrid. is so, probably by mia-based crews.
2- it will fly from osaka-dubai-europe-jfk-anchorage-osaka. is so, then probably iln-based crews. it might also be used to deadhead crews to osaka, if there is no domicile. this particular rumor is more ludicrous than others, but is the most popular throughout japan. the deadhead part is a big problem because ana has prohibited abx air from having "jumpseaters" on "their" aircraft. they define that as planes they are paying for.

anybody's guess...
where ever it goes, i've heard that they did not take out the pegasus fms, but actually plan to use it! how in the world will we navigate with such a huge database? it will have too much information for us to search!
well, we'll see if that rumor is true. don't hold your breath.
(the pilots will have to take a pay cut to pay for the database updates, i'm sure.)

Flight is trying to work out logistics of KIX-ANC within ETOPS 120. Mgt believes we can line up customers for that route whether or not ANA wants to use it.
Also working on "around-the-world" trip, US-Keflavik-Frankfurt-Kazakhastan(sic?)-KIX for ANA.
