Only some 767s can do that range - anyone know exact planes WS is getting? (ugh, 20+ years old?!)....

Not to detract from Dorian's point of this thread, but I was on AC's sad, 25+ year-old 763s to LAX. One particular fin was original CP, then to RG for 9 years, then to AC. It had OH bins that were the old style and even undersize bags did not fit.
As I wrote in another thread, on a different flight, none of us in the full J cabin were amused by the lack of water in the front lavs. Wipes in the sink.
I forgot to take photos of the interesting tape holding together parts of the rear-lavs.
While I am quite sure these pieces of equipment are certified to fly and are absolutely safe, they are not a pleasant experience.
So, what were you saying about the other guy's 20+ year-old 763s?
