Wondered if anyone knows when the UCDS on the A333 will be decommissioned and replaced with the seat on the 789? What will the configuration be, surely less J than the current LOPA.
The attached link suggests some time in 2016:

Funny this should come up. My VS401 flight in Feb has recently changes from a 333 to 346. Looking at the schedules it looks like its just for a period of 4 days or so the 400/401 is changing to 346 but could this all be related in some way? Shifting of 333s around etc?

I believe the refits will start in the 2nd half of 2016.
Any spare Airbus capacity over the winter has been utilised to speed up the 747 retirements.
