AA 772s were delivered with the 2-5-2 config, while their 77Ws were directly delivered either the 10 abreast config
eh, eh, my history of AF 777s is faulty. Thanks for correcting.
Actually, my memory is hit by old age. I now remember how AF aggressively promoted their new 10-abreast more-comfy seats as an enhancement. Some posters even sided with AF.
I wonder which major airline was the precursor in adopting the 10-abreast config on 777.
