I'd rather have my upgrade clear on a 45J bird and most of the time fly in J with a small risk of being downgraded later than never have it clear on a 37J plane with a 100% chance of flying in coach.

The 13 45J 772's were basically all LAX/JFK/RDU-LHR flights. Upgrading on those routes is already pretty easy if you're an EXP with a respectable EQD.

This is not as big a loss as some are making it out to be.

It's not at all clear this will remain true once eight business class seats are ripped out.

NOTE: The last C45 777-223ER was retrofitted to C37 and Premium Economy at KPAE and returned to service 11 December 2018. Please see the new “Which 777-200ER?” thread here.
