how does the J on the 787 compare with the J in A330? (in another thread i found a comparison between new(er) A330 J vs old pre-update but didn't find a thread on direct comparison.

IIRC all of the ex-SQ aircraft have now been updated, so that 2-2-2 layout no longer exists.

But yes the current active fins flying are either the old pods 1-1-1 or the new pods 1-2-1 on FIN934 and FIN942 usually doing YUL/YVR.

I have had 2 flights on the reconfigured birds (FINS 934 and 942). 942 has the newer Airbus bins. The lavs have all been redone and are quite nice. Overall it was a nice ride and when all of them are refurbished they will be almost as nice as the Boeing wide bodies.

I notice AC has downgraded many YYZ/YUL flights to YYC/YVR from 787/A330 to narrowbodies A319/A321. I was booking a few flights in November & December as flying across the country I rather be a bit more comfortable in J on a widebody however my 787 & 330 flights are now A321 & A320.
This weekend I am even on an A319 YOW-YVR which will be no fun

Yeah, they even did that to me last week on ~24 hours' notice. Subbed out a 788 YYZ-YYC for a 321. Normally I might be willing to take a slightly earlier or later flight to get back in to a pod, but the current meagre flight schedule rendered that impractical.
