Originally posted by SQfanatic View PostAlso, looking at the Winter schedule, SQ800/805 from when the start of the NW18/19 schedule begin will be operated by the 772 instead of the current 3-class 77W. HND (634/635) still remains as is.
9V-SWS is already undergoing refit accordingly to mainly miles. So guess once SWS is refitted, the next one will follow. So SQ800/805/634/635 might get some other aircraft even before the winter schedule

A little surprised on why they couldn't start with SWI first, that plane is already 11 years old with the 2006 cabin products. It has gone out twice hoping they would actually retrofit that first. (Gone for almost a week recently, and sometime last month for 4 days until it got sent to MNL). Time will tell and it sounds likely that SWI may be the last one to be retrofitted if not the next.

My ex-colleague got off 9V-SVE yesterday to IST and informed me that the Y seats looked like those of the A380s, with seat controllers on the seat back. He also said the cabin looked very new and fresh. I’m guessing SVE has gotten the 77W hand me downs.

Originally posted by SQfanatic View PostIt's about time they are getting to retrofit the last 3 77W. SWS was the plane I flew on 3 years ago on SQ16 and only now it is going to convert to a 77WR.

Originally posted by SQ228 View PostSVB has held the crown of 'oldest in the fleet' for about 3 years now after it won the dubious honour off SQE. It may well take an award for oldest ever in fleet and also the 'oldest in fleet' title for the longest.
