From QF source

Q
Quote:
ANTAS today confirmed that its Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners will be delivered in a 42J/28W/166Y configuration.

Business Class will feature a slightly modified version of the A330 seat retaining the 1-2-1 configuration with direct aisle access for all passengers and with a moveable divider between the middle seats to make them more suitable for couples travelling together.

Economy Class will not feature the Thomson Aero Cozy Suite as had been rumoured but a Recaro seat in 3-3-3 configuration with a 12 inch touch screen and a flip down tablet holder Seat pitch will be 32″, however no mention has been made of seat width.

Details of the promised “revolutionary” Premium Economy seat have not been revealed except that it is known that these will be in a 2-3-2 configuration.

Where would QANTAS do have the maintenance centres based for the 787's?? Jetstar's maintenance facility at YMML?

I wouldn't be surprised if its Brisbane that gets it in terms of both line and heavy, the A330 facility is likely to get quieter over the next few years as the fleet reduces and after all it's the only facility they have left, I don't believe Jetstar have decided on who will be doing their heavy maintenance yet either, given the first heavy is due at 12 years they have a while to work it out.

How many 787s would it take to run a double daily Perth-London service?

The follow on part to this story is that QF are looking at cancelling the London A380 service from Melbourne, and originating the Perth-London B787 service in Melbourne - a bit like Air Canada's Toronto-Vancouver-Sydney service.
