In summary, these five types will be flying around this summer:
76G = ex-Gulf Unrefurbished; 5 rows of BE recliners; 29BE seats for sale
76U = "regular" Unrefurbished: 6 rows of BE recliners; 35BE seats for sale
76L = Refurbished 9 rows of flat-bed BE seats; 35 seats for sale; 175Y seats
76T = Refurbished 9 rows of flat-bed BE seats; 36 seats for sale; 172Y seats
76Z = Refurbished 6-7 rows of flat-bed BE seats; 25 seats for sale; 200Y seats
By January/February 2014, the 76Gs and 76Us should be gone, and we should be left with the 76L, 76T, and 76Z.
