2 questions.

1) Will the A350 by default have GC Economy Class seats?

2) Will the older 77W getting refitted with PEY have the GC seats? (i.e. EC* and certain EG* frames)
I think the use of ‘GC’ in this context is very confusing.
’Game Changer’ is the description Emirates has used for the First class suite in their last 9 77W’s.
At the same time, they installed refreshed J and Y cabins. And subsequently they have installed PE on these 9 frames.
There are no A380 ‘GC’ frames. And the non GC 77W frames that are currently being retrofitted with PE are not getting GC First class suites either.
To be honest, why they ever installed this product on 9 frames (if they were not going to retrofit it) is a bit of a mystery to me, probably only as an advertising gimmick.
