New United 777 Configuration?
I noticed in the latest United timetable (Feb 11-April 3, 1999) what looks like a new seating configuration on a B777-200 XI. It looks to me to be the type of Semi-Private First Class sleeper seats that British Airways has had. Does anyone have any info on this? I've posted a picture from the timetable to:

The picture on the right looks like BA, but the one on the left looks like plain old UA. I will note that I was on a flight a few months ago that had pushed the bulkhead between 1st and Business back about 6 feet. The purser said that they were preparing for sleeper seats. But I haven't seen that since.
