Current non-ER IPTE 772s can be the source of flat J seats.

Don't believe Polaris conversion of 772s would start before mid-2017 when the said domestic conversion supposed to be completed already

That means that the rate of conversion depends on how quickly old IPTE 777s can be converted to Polaris, unless there is a stockpile of flat-bed J seats that can be drawn down.
