Agree, we can't rely on what's on the AC site, so this is as reliable as we get.
It does indicate AC is taking the medium approach to its J cabins, adding a few more seats over the 763s but not that many over the current A340s. Nor is it adding a third, Premium Economy cabin on its ultra-longhauls. That rumour would be quick to establish since a different type of seat would be required to really sell this type of service.

unless you go with the % of Y seats to J seats
a 777 has almost 100 more seats than a 340.
Also AC will have the LOWEST # of Business/premium economy seats of 777 international planes!

Those AVOD's you'll be enjoying in a few months involve quite a bit of undertaking with the avionics, and I wouldn't mind waiting a few months knowing that TC is sure that it's installed safe. Once they get the first config down, we'll be sitting pretty.

Forget tidbits about 777's let's focus on aircraft here and now. A couple days away from October and still no new refurb's flying.

747 In 4 class config: 14 F + 70/38J + 36/30W seats
777 In 4 class config: 14 F + 48J + 40W seats
777 In 3 class config: 36-40J + 24W seats
767 In 3 class config: 24J + 24W seats
I would thus argue that EVERY SINGLE BA plane that flies to Canada has significantly more premium seats than any AC plane.
