All factors that indicate one product cannot fit in the other.

I remember our conversation offline about this, but why can it not?

I'm more thinking about width of the product. The 787 is smaller (right?), so why can't one just shove the 787 pod on the 777? I mean, bigger aisles, right?

I just can't possibly picture a different pod on the 777?

Allow me to explain my logic. The current config - J, herringbone.....with the stupid blue light - that's the same on the 333, 763 and the 773/772, is it not?
