(Don't get me wrong, I have the same pessimistic prediction about it ... just wondering if there's any chance at all that I'm wrong, or if the bad news has now been confirmed).
According to a post (earlier in this thread I think) Ben Smith has confirmed that AC will utilise 9-across seating on the 787s - necessitating the same extremely narrow 17" seat as on the 777HDs. Depressing to say the least.

While it is reasonably feasible to avoid the 777HDs, avoiding 787s will be near impossible for those flying AC internationally.
