Delta 777-200ER/LR Conversions to 7HD & 7HB. Pre-mods config is 37J/36W/218Y. For all the ERs and the first LR, post-mods config was initially 28J/48W/220Y (7HD/7HB). The post-mods config for all ERs and LRs is now 28J/48W/90Y+/122Y (7CD/7CB).
Modifications are taking place at SIN and the entry and exit dates are based on SIN time (GMT + 8 hrs). Comfort + installation was done at ATL on all the 7HD>7CD conversions, and on 7106 (7HB>7CB). The remaining 9 LRs had the C + cabins installed at SIN.

Yup.....A350-900XWB has been used (scheduled) since the end of October (about the 28th it started). MSP-ICN (was B777-200ER) also got the "flagship" status around the same time. Other routes that moved to the B777-200ER's (to free up for the last 2 "LR" routes) are: LAX-PVG (was "LR" then a 350), LAX-HND (was "LR" then a 350) and ATL-NRT (was "LR" then a 350). Delta's creativity with all of its international aircraft's will hopefully allow them to fulfill their 2 remaining LR routes scheduled to use an upgraded "LR" aircraft by the middle of November...THIS YEAR. The ATL-PVG could use the "ER" as the range of them would work. The ATL-JNB needs to use the "LR" (currently the only DL route that needs the range of the "LR" aircraft), In a "pinch" an "ER" could be used but a fuel stop would be needed to make the destination. Passengers would not like the additional stop (which would probably add around 2 hours to the destination), which would be better than a cancellation. "LR" conversions appear to be taking longer than DL expected them to. I haven't checked Deltas' website to see if ATL-PVG upgraded interior scheduled has been moved to later this year....Next comes the new "LR" service JFK-BOM (beginning December 22, 2019) - the A350 flagship COULD make the leg, but no available (or freed up A/C are available) and using the flagship does NOT fit into Deltas' usage very well. Time will tell how all this plays out.

Yeah, it's too bad for DM/PM. Delta needs to retrofit a C+ section on the A350 ASAP. The other widebodies are all getting it with the cabin updates.

I'm not 6' 4'' (only 5' 11'') but I sat on 41A on DTW - ICN last month and had a ton of legroom -- even if I was 5-6 inches taller.
This was me slumped as far down as possible in the seat with my legs as far forward as possible (think like attempted sleeping position), not a normal sitting and watching a movie position. And you can see the set of two in row 40 has a ton of room too

No you aren't. Row 41 A and J have more legroom than any C+ seat would have on the 777 other than 31C and 31G.

........Well the 764's (B767-400ERs) are first group of B767's to be updated. Delta has 4 or 5 of these 764 retro-birds back into operation and have 3 or 4 out at CAN getting the switch. Delta appears to be staying ahead of the "curve" of its "new interior"d aircraft for the stated route timelines, which cannot be said for the "new interior"d B777-200LR's. The ability to cover the current ATL-PVG and ATL-JNB with these "newbees" just hasn't happened yet and (in just around 2 weeks - December 22nd) Delta is kicking off it's JFK-BOM route (which needs more than 1 of the retro'd LR's, and probably closer to 2). In the three stated R/T legs, DL will be doing some juggling for a while until at least 2 are returned from SIN to satisfy these routes for 100% "new interior-ed" aircraft coverage's. Looks like Delta needs a quick Christmas present! Grinch's welcome????

The good news is that only 2 are left in the old config, and as 7103 should exit mods any day (hopefully), presumably one will take its spot. There's a chance no more old configs will be flying by 12/31.
Also, kind of odd to see one on ATL-LIM: https://www.flightradar24.com/data/aircraft/n708dn. Perhaps an indicator it needs to be closer to ATL to ferry for mods?

One other thing about the A/D seats is that there is a tiny bit of extra space on the outer edge of the pods that I don't remember from the A350 (I assume because the pods are the same but the 777 fuselage is wider?) -- this space might be more accessible from an even row seat than an odd row?
