IF 763 seats are the same, there are already 26*7=182 units leftover from 2016 763 3-cabin to 2-cabin conversion.
Rough maths suggests that's enough to cover the shortage:

This brings a question regarding the 772A conversions. I was assuming 772ER conversions would provide the lie flat BF seats to complete the converstion, but if the 763ER 3 class aircraft have the same BF seat, maybe the 763s will get converted first and allow needed seats.
Does anyone know if the 763 seats are the same and what the Polaris conversion plan is for the 763 and 772ERs?
