How often, if at all, do swaps occur (or, perhaps more precisely, do refurbished 763s end up "out of position"?). I opted for ISTJFK in about a week instead of a connection via CDG to the A380, knowing full well that we are not scheduled to have a refurbished aircraft. Flying in J.
I'm thinking my chances of a better aircraft showing up are akin to Dumb and Dumber..."so you're saying there's a chance..."
