Well, it appears C-GHPT was ferried to HKG 7 days ago, to what one could suspect to be the alluded too 787 heavy check (its been 10 years less 2 months since it was delivered). Wondering if we will possibly see it come out with the new J product, or if they will wait for the 787-10's. Now would be the time...
Given the lead time on seats these days, I would bet heavily against the new product being ready for installation now. I suspect we'll see it first on a 781 or XLR before any refits. AC has shown, with the XM seats, that it can and is willing to keep things in service long past their original design life. The priority will likely be making sure they have the seats ready to go into the new aircraft as those roll off the assembly line before retrofitting any of the existing frames.
