Actually only 3 ERs: ships 791, 796, and 799. Ship 786 is at SFO for maintenance and IPTE reconfiguration; ship 799 was at PEK for maintenance, but not for IPTE work. Ship 798 is done and back flying.
There are also the three remaining non-ER 777s -- ships 768, 772, and 779. They've occasionally been turning up on HNL-NRT and NRT-SEA turns as well as IAH-HNL, SFO-HNL and SFO-IAD flights. They seldom sub to/from Europe any more.
