So that's why the 77Ws were being swapped around at JFK yesterday delaying my TATL by 3 hours leaving me semi stranded at LHR right now.

Did he forget he was driving a 777??
He is probably the same guy who parks his big truck or SUV in spaces marked "compact car only"

The important question is: how long will the plane be out of service, and which routes are affected?

No doubt that this is related to the 77X F overbooking conspiracy.

The driver was apparently a mechanic, not a pilot.
