How's the ride back in Y? Good PTVs? Is it the hard sCO Y seats? Is E+ roomy? Are there new overhead bins?

I just got home from taking UA907 ORD-SFO, which today (7/17/12) was on N674UA (the 2 class 763 with the new lie flats). Here are my opinions of BF:
1. The sUA FAs told me that they had not been familiarized with the plane yet.
2. There is an espresso machine in the BF galley.
3. I would not sit in a window seat as the overhead cabin lights provide too much glare.
4. The purser mentioned that she believed the angle of the BF seats makes the aisle more restrictive.
Overall, I liked the ride as it means no ghetto bird.
p.s. mods: I am unsure where to post this message, please move to appropriate thread. thanks!

After the continual ORD-AMS-ORD issues it was facing, any word if the reliability has improved?

We were on board for 3 hours on July 1 - but remained in AMS.
My wife put the seat flat (J) but at 1.64 could not stretch all the way out - her feet were knocking the cubicle in front.
Personal Video seemed fine - and at least they start right after boarding. Never get why many airlines only start the system up after 30mins in flight and close down even longer before touch down.

The interiors of the reconfigured 2-cabin sUA 763s look exactly like the reconfigured sCO 764s. Same bins, same seats, same AVOD systems, same galleys, same FA jumpseats, same lavs etc. The only difference one is longer.

It doesn't seem like it. It was delayed 4 hours in SFO today.

I'm curious about this bit of intrigue as well. This would not surprise me at all if true.

She finished 4th in the 200 back final so unfortunately no London for her, but we're very excited to watch her progress over the next 4 years!
Trials were a fun event to watch in Omaha...they did a great job of generating excitement.
