So I guess no chance for the old EB....and most of the EC...series to get the new PE cabin.
Until the B777 get the PE, some A350 will have joyned the fleet.....are those birds 2 classes, 3 classes or already configured with PE?
I highly doubt EK will retrofit 53 B777.....but we shall see :-)
If crew rest area means ULR, then all the 21 mentioned are ULR as are all the other 304/306Y mentioned by
Zoni89 (mostly EG* and EC*). The 310/312Y have no crew rest area and many are even newer with 30 odd EN* and EP* frames.
I too would have thought some of these would be preferred to the older ones, but have no insight to the plans apart from what I've read here.
