Twice I checked 1-2 days before on the pda site and both times the plane # changed, once for the better and once for the worse.
Yup, aircraft swaps can happen.
It will be nice once they're all converted by the end of the year.

Hopefully but I wouldn't place a wager on it being 100% by then.

As I suspected, CO has pushed off the expected completion of the 777 fleet conversion from December to January.
The 757s will be complete by 07/11.

Are we assuming the merger won't mess this up?

It's not a bad seat, it's just more like a Barcalounger than a bed.

You'd have to be pretty unlucky now to get the old BF seats on a CO777 flight!

Here are the final ships dates!

Ship # 019 (B777-200) ETR is TBD
Ship # 007 (B777-200) ETR is 11/25/10

Ship # 009 will go to HKG on 11/25/10
Ship # 020 will go to HKG on 12/3/10

So after 12/3 there will be a 100% chance of a lie-flat seat on CO777s!!!
