HI there.
I was wondering if anyone had any info about how the 773ER is performing with AF and JL; dispatch reliability, performance and how smoothly it has been integrated into their fleets.

On the delivery flight for (I think) the 2nd AF 777-300ER, the crew shut-down an engine after getting indications that oil pressure was dropping. The aircraft entered service on time, and since it was not a revenue flight, it blew over quietly. Still no in service events that I know of...

How long does it take to board a bird that large? Do they use two doors, or one? It's a damn cool looking plane!!!
I have only been on the 777-200 series for UA and BA. I like the 3-3-3 of BA more than the 2-5-2, maybe because I was in the exact middle on the 2-5-2.

I flew JL last month from LHR - NRT - BNE, the first leg being on the 777 - 300ER. We ended up leaving a day late due to the fact that it had a fuel leak and they were unable to repair it at the time. I think a lot of that was naturally that they were unable to get the part in on that evening, and from what I heard it was the first time in about 6 years that JAL had to overnight us in a hotel due to the fact they were unable to fix the problem there and then. We took off the next day and all was fine, and it was a very comfortbale ride, however the knock on effect saw us travelling from NRT - BNE in a JAA 747-200, very old, and I never knew theycreaked as much as they do when they age, scary!

It really depends on the airport the aircraft is at, the number of pax etc. etc. If only 1 door is used it would take longer (all large aircraft do), than using a double jetway.

Hey
i think that the 773ER is a great plane. But i prefure the A340-600. Are they the same length? or is one longer becuase in 1:500 scale a A340-600 is shorter than a 773ER.

The B777-300 and B777-300ER are 73.9 meters.
The A340-600 is 75.3 meters.
The agreement between Airbus, Boeing, and most of the world's large airports limits airliners to a maximum length of 80 meters.
BTW, if the B747Adv does not make it into production, Boeing still have the option of stretching the B777-300ER by six meters. Such a plane would have the capacity of the B747-400 with greater range and lower operating costs.
