Currently GVA-EWR/IAD is mostly run on the 763 30J/184Y.
Switzerland is a sizable market for UA premium traffic, requiring sufficient up-front capacity.
Meanwhile a decrease in Y-capacity might not be unwelcome, as it is at times more challenging for UA to fill up Y out of GVA and ZRH.
So, the larger J / smaller Y-configuration might actually work out quite well in that market.
