Has the reverse ever happened? ...
domestic sUA 777 do not get swapped for 777Qs ( but old config international 777 might occasionally be used, but not domestic 777). Btw, there are only a handful of the old config international 777 left, probably will be gone on international routes in a few months.

near zero -- for the most part the international configs are not used on domestic runs
