I believe QF is a lot smarter than flying near empty B763s Marty
. Firstly, they can easily swap it for a 73H or 734 if there are insufficient pax for a 763 but enough to completely fill a 734 or 73H.
Secondly, they can also cancel flights (which they did on the SYD-MEL route with flights roughly every hour during non-peak hours).
There are lots of things QF (and as a matter of fact DJ) can and will do to avoid flying empty planes.
Speaking of empty planes, I can't help to think how empty my recent CBR-SYD flight on DJ was, accordingly to my logbook, only 28 out of the 78 seats on the E70 was filled. Granted it was a Sunday night flight but I would have thought there would be a bit more than 28.
