I managed to track down a guy who knows Etihad intimately as it were and gave me the following information:
At the moment, A330-200s A6-EY(*) G/H/J/R have the old Business Class. The rest, new.
Of the B777-300ERs, A6-ET(*) A/B/C/D/E/F have the old Business Class, the rest have the new one.
Of the A340-600s A6-EH(*) E/F/H have the current business class.
I/J/K/L have the previous business class.

Did you by any chance, see the economy class cabin? If yes, was it similar to the newer 777/333 seats or was it the same old seat?

I did not specifically see A6-EYJ, but the couple of A330-200´s I flew with, had the same Economy class cabin like the A330-300 and 777.

AUH-JFK?
Any idea which of the 77Ws frequent this route?
I have the option of flying AUH-JFK business or AUH-LHR First and then another connection from LHR.
I would prefer the direct route but if it is usually with the old business class then i might have to go with AUH-LHR First and AA to JFK

Somebody wrote that all 3-class 777 are equipped with the new J-class as well, but I am not able to find the post.
Hope that helps

The EY-operated flight 100/101 is usually in the 3-class 777, which all have the new J-class. But be aware, that EY 102/103 is operated by Jet Airways.
