Not sure if that is what they are most likely to use given the circumstances or if the 777-200ER are also being used on the route. I know it is all a toss up but just curious. Booked row 9 which I assume is pretty much the same in either variant.
Even before the UA328 incident, they have been showing 772 for EWR/SFO flights but assigning 773 instead. Especially given current circumstances, I think it's almost certain that you'll get 773.
