It was until they announced accelerated retirements of the -400's, so now everything is up in the air. The general consensus is that EWR will definitely see some upgauging, like TLV/HKG/PVG/BOM/DEL/PEK, but SFO will see some also at least till the 350's come.

Expect another 11 777-300s to be ordered for the total of 25

That isn't what the company said. They said all the 777-300's would be in EWR & IAD. The 777's are going to be here before the 400 retirement. SFO is going to get ORD's 400's when the base closes. The company has clearly said that they are going to shrink the 777 on the west coast and grow it on the east coast. They are growing the 787 on the west coast. Who knows where the 350 will be based. Maybe ORD, SFO and EWR. The 300's are all growth for EWR and IAD.

Your info is old. Look at the 3-18 FO update. 777-300's are going to EWR and SFO. Until tomorrow, when plans change again...
