Out of east coast cities, you are correct.
The question was flying out of EWR. SFO-HKG should be no trouble at all. The problem with making predictions about flying out of any particular base on a WB is the destinations and equipment are subject to external factors. It won't settle out until China destinations and Russian airspace are available. Of course, then something else will mess up our Feng Shui.
