How old are UAs 777s? I bet like UAs 747s they are well past due, so can those of us who fly this route regularly expect to see more reliability? - I suspect not.

Worse still, the reduction in BF seats in 777 is all but going to make upgrades impossible for those of us 1K's who play the GPU roulette.
