Of course, but there are still the PMCO 767-200's, none of which have lie-flat, and a few PMCO 767-400's that, while offering BF, still have not been converted to lie-flat.

Personally, I prefer the C on the PMCO planes, the ones that have C (BF) but with only 2 classes.

These include the PMCO 757-200's, PMCO 767-400, and PMCO 777-200.

There are still some PMCO 767-200's in the system which are being retired and will not be converted to lie-flat, as well as about half of the 767-400 fleet, yet to be converted to lie-flat.

The 3-class planes all came from UA, and the C seats tend to be narrow. On the 747, you have a fairly unpleasant 2-4-2 configuration in C and some seats facing backward.
