Can you hint at what the configuration will look like? In the forward cabin the sCO 777's seat 26 lie flats using the sCO BF seat. Bunky and Jose (I think) have mentioned there will be 28 seats.

For my personal flying in 2016, my two goals are to fly on this newly configured 777 as well as on the 773ER. I live on GUM and will not wait for these aircraft to fly here - I'll find them and try flying on them this year. I have heeps of GPU's and RPU's to use this year for this purpose. Please keep us posted. Thanks to all!

N12754 (former Copa) sked to exit MIA 2191/17Jan with WiFi/scimitars


772:
N211UA entered XMN 2175/9Jan
N212UA entered HKG 2137/8Jan
Outside possibility 211 and/or 212 could be getting new Lie Flat seats

UA 328/383 HNL-DEN will be on pmco 752 until 04APR16

So we can assume 10Feb will roughly be the date a new-domestic config 772 started? or maybe 2514 back flying again, giving 2019 was test flying already.
