Not on international routes. I *think* I flew on a sCO 772 SFO-EWR once a few years back (maybe around 2016 because I vaguely recall Summer Olympics tin amenity kits) but I'm not sure that was even a regular thing.

It makes sense to fly the GE90 777s on longer hauls because of the extra 8k in gross weight, and SFO/EWR-HKG are currently the two longest 772 routes in the system.
