1) for the past few months, CX has been somewhat reliable with regional F...This is due to extra 77H frames laying around right now. Like everything with regional F (except HND, where it is guaranteed), it is reliable and looks predictable.......until it isn't. If I was betting, I'd say CX regional F stays somewhat predictable until a) the next uptick in 77H rotations (late March when BOS gets additional frequencies) or b) some 77H frames are due out of the rotation due to the longer checks or unexpected incidents, like when the catering truck busted up a 77H in Zurich for a while (both situations are unpredictable to us on FT). There's a chance other FTers here know the schedule for CXs long-term checks on the 77W fleet, but I don't. The oldest frames are almost a decade old now.If you could figure the check schedule out you'd have your bases quite well - albeit obsessively - covered! Except for the checks and BOS, there isn't really anything scheduled I can think of which would reduce 77H frequencies regionally.

2) no amenity kits loaded, unfortunately.

3) if it's her first time she'll really appreciate it I think. At a minimum the plating and format is much nicer than J, let alone economy class which she's used to. Have her try the tea.
