I can't imagine the 3 seats in coach are restful either!!! THAT has to go in this next contract!!
The new seats are quite nice. My only issue is I didn't get any sleep because there were so many movies to watch and they kept feeding me! Not bad problems to have!
Flights scheduled over 12 hours require a bunk. I believe some of the s-UAL 777's are operating certain routes on these "domestic" 777's under an agreement with the company and using 1st class seats for rest on flights over 8 hours but less than 12. s-CAL 777's have bunks but the FA's will also reserve an open businessfirst seat(lie flat) for the pilots to watch movies and read etc. if they don't want to(or cannot) sleep in the dark bunk. Was this a CAL or UAL 777?
