Although it makes me wonder whether pulling a KA would be acceptable, by selling long haul J products as F regionally.
They could split the 77W into regional (no PEY, maybe lesser J, heck even 10 abreast Y while we're at it), and long-haul for flights that still justify an F cabin, at least until the 777X shows up and can sell suites in 1-1-1 or something.
All routes that have little F demand can just be run by the A350s, maybe SQ can modify the newer J products and sell something like MH's Business Suites (or whatever is it MU were doing) as an F replacement.

Although it would be a temptation to spray paint a T on the end, I suspect it also indicates that 9V-SHO will be skipped.
All combinations of H, I, O & X would created two-letter landing gear flap codes that cannot be distinguished from their reverse. HI and IH would be identical when turned upside down from each other, as would HO & OH. As X is never used, that wouldn't become an issue anyway.

[QUOTE=9V-JKL;224898]F is here to stay for SQ else why spend all that money for 2017R
Yes SQ will retain only a limited 4 F seats in its 777s and for the A380s, will have only 6 Suites when its all refurbished, down from the 12 suites it has on the older A380s.

As for 9V-SHO, it’s unclear whether SQ would skip it, but from what it seems, they won’t be skipping 9V-SHO either.

If you're talking about the A359, are you referring to the long-haul seat or the regional seat?
If comparing the regional seat, I personally think that due to the larger cabin, the A350 fairs better than the 787, even though the actual seats are identical.
The seat is straight to the frontvisit my blog
