This will bring the 77W to 400 seats and the 77L to 300 seats. So a denser config, but still not quite HD standard.
I can only assume, that the B-77W will add 24 PY seats as on the B-77P and the balance of seats (27) will be in Y. I also think they will not tamper with the density on the B-77L but rather only add the (30) additional seats in PY.
Let's hope when they make these modifications, that the PY cabin will be a separate cabin and/or at least have a curtain and also make provisions for proper FA staffing levels as on CX.
