Substitute a 3-class intl'l 777 for a 2-class domestic. All 48 lose lies flats. 8 find themselves in coach. This passenger(after departing OGG 2 1/2 hours late because of of crew shortage - one FA had to fly on from SFO) had upgraded his P fare to the iF cabin from the Business cabin. I still have a front cabin seat, but now it's domestic and I'm showing as "upgraded" to First on the waitlist. Perfect. I was counting on some catch up sleep on way to IAD before heading to Rome.

Now departing late because mechanic is fixing gauge in cockpit.

Jeff is talking about technology. I just want the plane I paid for, you clueless idiot.
