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.

I think (correct me if I'm wrong) that it's more likely to be the other way around. The new configs have fewer F and C seats than the old config, so you'll lose your seat only if your plane is swapped from old to new. Or do I have that wrong?
