As the previous thread has been archived, I'll start this again.
There seems to have been a delay in ship #1602 (N1602) being completed as it has been at HAECO in HKG for two months now, which is 2-3 weeks longer than most of the previous aircraft have taken to be modded.
Also ship #174 (N174DN) has been out of service since Nov 3rd and ship #191 arrived in SIN (QPG?) on Nov 12. Is DL using QPG as a second line for the B763ERs now that the B744s have been completed (though N661US is at QPG for more mods, having already been partially done in PEK)?
Also ship #1607 (N1607B), which has already been modded, has been at QPG since Oct 20th; is it there for International WiFi installation? Answers please DL Flight Ops!

I'm flying DL107 in early March and very confused ... the seatmap you can select seats on has BE as 1-2-1, indicating a refresh cabin and PTV in Y.
But the 'view seats' during booking has 2-2-2 767L and says overhead TV in Y. Anyone have any tips to figure it out? I'm in Y.

Ship #1602 (N1602) has managed to find it's way to ATL without showing up on FlightAware as having done any scheduled flights getting there! I wonder if it was ferried all the way; it certainly didn't fly from HKG-NRT-SFO-ATL as the last few modded aircraft have done. It's flights today are from ATL-JFK-FRA.

Ship #1603 (N1603) may be the next one to go into mods to replace ship #1602. It last flew from ATL-SFO on Nov 14th and according to FlightAware it hasn't flown since.

So after five weeks at QPG, ship #1607 (N1607B) has finished it's mysterious visit there and is scheduled to fly out today to SIN and from there to NRT or be ferried to ANC-ATL presumably. But we have been unable to get any help here from DL Flight Ops contacts as to why it was in QPG in the first place. I have previously suggested that it might have been for the installation of International WiFi........oh well I'm sure we'll all find out eventually! In the meantime, FlightAware will undoubtedly update it's progress home!
Meanwhile it appears that ship #1603 (N1603) is replacing #1607 as it's on it's way to SIN, then presumably to QPG.

FYI, the 76Gs after mods will also be designated as 76Z and will have the same number of seats in both cabins as the rest of the 76Z fleet, with the only difference being the exit layouts.

If you're asking how will the 6-door 76Z differ from the 4-door 76Z then it's a slight variation in the seat patten in the front portion of the Y cabin. DL doesn't use the L2 door for boarding on the 76ERs but just for reference if you were to walk on the a/c at L2 the first thing you will hit turning right to get to your seat would be a set of lavs in the middle of the cabin; 2 rows of 2-2 seats on each side. On the 4 door 76Zs the lavs are about 7 rows back into coach.

Quoting rj777 (Reply 15): Does anybody know which type does the JFK-BCN run?
Currently in the winter, it is run with the non-refurbed 763ERs. The spring/summer equipment is far from finalized for now - it is currently defaulted to a 763, but DL has been using thed A330-300s on JFK-BCN for the past few summers now.

Ship 1605 should be done now; it is scheduled to operate DL618 NRT-SFO tomorrow (Wed Nov 28). Seatmap for flight has been updated to reflect the new 1-2-1 config in Business.

The 76Qs already have AVOD. However, if you mean the new bins, panels, and lavatories, no they will not be getting such mods since they are planned to be retired soon. However, it has been stated that DL will be keeping the 76Ps (ETOPS domestic 763s, ships 1401-1404) for the Hawaii routes. However, I don't expect them to get such mods either anytime soon.

Yes, but since they don't have a BusinessElite cabin, I don't see DL deploying them on such route. They will probably mainly be used on LAX/SLC-HNL, with occasional positioning transcons to ATL.

I realize that. I was entertaining the thought that Delta could update the cabins of the 76Ps to the high-density 76Z layout, giving all of the 767s a consistent interior. Since they would then have BusinessElite, then it would be possible to send them to SNN or even LHR. There would be a reduction in seats; however, Delta wouldnt' have to keep two sets of parts for the 'old' 767 interior vs. the new.

Between now and June 2013, they will be cranking out on average 4 to 5 refurbs a month.

That's digging a little too deep. They sent it to SIN for a reason. That's a little above my head. Specifically why SIN and not TechOps or SEA or NRT or JFK IDK. I'm just telling you it's there for scheduled maintenance not interior mods. If someone else wants to post specifics then they can but i'm not 100% comfortable doing that.

It was also painted into the current colours almost two years ago and then sent straight back to the desert again! It's almost like DL had plans for it, otherwise why go to the expense of painting it instead of waiting until it was ready to return to service, and then giving it a fresh paint job at that time! Now it's had almost two year's worth of hot baking sunlight to fade the paint as it sits motionless!

Interesting tidbit from yesterday, the first of the fore-mentioned 763s with the 2 forward of the wing exits (N394DL, the ex-Asiana bird) flew to Narita yesterday and presumably to HKG or QPG from there.
It seemed to fly as an extra SEA-NRT segment apart from the usual A330 that day.
Delta needs a few of these birds high density done by next year so they can put them on the LAX-JFK routes as advertised. They're also supposed to be used for the SEA-HND flight.
As far as I've gathered from flightaware, these are the planes currently in mods:
N185DN Last flight: Oct 23
N183DN Last flight: Oct 29
N174DN Last flight: Nov 2

The 76P/Q are in a true domestic config. The Y seats are the same Weber model on the 737s, the F seat is IIRC the same as the 737s also.

Quoting FlyASAGuy2005 (Reply 40): That's digging a little too deep. They sent it to SIN for a reason. That's a little above my head. Specifically why SIN and not TechOps or SEA or NRT or JFK IDK. I'm just telling you it's there for scheduled maintenance not interior mods. If someone else wants to post specifics then they can but i'm not 100% comfortable doing that.
I think it's in for the "stealth mod" to make it disappear on FlightAware so people stop obsessing with it.
My comments/opinions are my own and are not to be construed as the opinion(s) of my employer.

Quoting panamair (Reply 44): Ship 1606 (N16065) is now done with mods and is scheduled to fly NRT-SFO tomorrow (Dec 1).
Quoting audidudi (Reply 55): Ship #174 (N174DN) is the latest to be modded and is operating DL 618 NRT-SFO tomorrow (Dec 19th). An interesting observation is that it has been completed before ships #185 (N185DN) and #183 (N183DN) which went in to mods ten days and four days ahead respectively. All three already had winglets installed, so I wonder why it got modded quicker?

Quoting SR117 (Reply 58): N394DL went to Asia on December 8th. I would assume it's getting the new seats.

Quoting BDL757 (Reply 62): How come the 76T will have 3 less seats in Y than the 76L?
The 76T has separate pilot rest bunk facilities whereas the 76Ls don't. The pilot rest seat on the 76L will be a BusinessElite seat instead; so there are 3 extra seats in the space that is used for the pilot bunks on the 76T.
Total complete now: 18 out of 58. The two latest to fly back to the US after completion of mods were ship 174 and ship 185; both are 76Ls.

Quoting lotpilot16 (Reply 63): Would you be able to tell me if DL593 CDG-ORD on 23 Dec will be refurbished or the 76G?
Thanks in advanced!
The schedule is showing as a generic 76ER, which means it is not a 76T that day. I originally posted that it was a 76T, but I accidentally looked up the flight for tomorrow instead of the 23rd. That said, it's always subject to change.
[Edited 2012-12-20 04:55:02] But at any rate, it's not the 76G.

Quoting ericaasen (Reply 66): Well, 593/592 was operated with a 76T ship 1611 today. It was an equipment swap so you might get lucky.
But it was previously modded by HAECO in HKG, so you haven't answered the question as to why ships #1607 and now #1608 have now gone to QPG. For what mods, please?
