I believe the latest earnings call said early 2010 will be the start of the 777 reconfig

Correct. And with the earnings being so good (really, no sarcasm), I've reason to believe that UA will indeed start the 777 re-configs next year. That's the good news. The bad news is that we will have about 12-18 months of posts where a pax lost his seat due to a last minute change from 777 new config to old config. I'm going try to avoid 777s next year.
