Was this a CAL or UAL 777?
'twas a UAL bird. Don't know if it had a bunk or not. I haven't paid attention to what the 777's have done rest wise, so not even sure where the bunk IS on our jets. I just know that I used to hear guys complain that the bunk was noisy.
On a side note... I thought that I just read something saying that the last UAL bird in the old Battleship Grey colors had gone in to be painted. The jet last night was still wearing them, so obviously I must have read it wrong. Had the new interior, but the old old paint
