This is now getting too OT but my ORD-MUC was switched back to the normal 2-4-2 772. They gave me a window seat and I hate window seats that are not also aisle. Map is full so no changing. I guess I should not complain (too much) as my wife now has no seat.
That could end ugly for your wife as there are 48 total J/F on the 2-4-2 config, while 50 on the Polaris config. Hopefully they will upgrade some pax from J to F and your wife will at least get a seat vs. a downgrade to Y (or even worse if Y is full an IDB, though I don't think that will happen). I hate when they play this AC configuration game over and over in the days leading up to departure.. I have been separated from my wife as well when they were playing the 767-300 swapping game a couple years back. Hopefully the retrofits happen quickly and logistics minimizes these config switches.
