Realistically I don't think we can expect see AC's real PE product until the 787s come online with the dedicated cabin.
I really can't imagine paying much extra for PE on the 77HD as it appears here. It looks like a situation where nobody's going to be entirely happy.
If AC has any plans to retrofit the 77W fleet to HD and PE it needs much much better planning and thought than went into this.
And FA's should be included in the planning process.
That jog to get food carts around 18C and 18H is ridiculous!
Sure AC just want to make 18AB and 18JK look less attractive to add to the appeal of the PE seats!
To date, I've not heard even so much as a murmur that the 77W is going to to be converted. Should this come to pass, the advantage on the 77W is that there is a fixed wet galley at L2-R2 which would address many of the galley stowage challenges.
As far as the "jog" around 18C/18H on the 77P. It's really not even an issue. The aircraft we have to be extra careful on is the A330 and moving equipment between J/C and the front row of Y/C.
