I've flown the LH 747s in Y (both 744 and 748) and they're unbearable because of the misaligned footwells,which UA has put on the 77W. So o will do my best to avoid that plane in Y or at least get exit seats.

Im an optimist, so could there be a tiny smidgen of hope here. The 772 will be replaced by the A359 in 5-10 years so let's just upgrade J to Polaris and leave economy alone? That's saves on retrofit costs.

UA and AA have retrofitted J without doing Y before to save costs. In those days it was bad for Y. To not retrofit the 772s this time around would be good.

Optomist or fantasist?
