Bringing this one back to the fore again.
AC have recently announced that as well as four new AC-owned 777s fitted with their version of the "suite-alike" product, they have signed a lease with ILFC to get a fifth ship introduced to the fleet more quickly, to expedite the replacement of the A340-300. The first aircraft should be delivered later this year.
I read a rumour that their 777 J config will look a lot like Air New Zealand's, but will contain a "stand up bar" next to the #2 doors, like on VS aircraft.
Cheers,
Mike
