Yes, seating configuration will remain same. But PIA may upgrade Business Class in close future.

Ah thanks. I hope they do. Recliners don't suit 8 hour flights.

No. A friend of mine in PIA says that about one or two will be rolled out as soon as possible. The rest will slowly get cleaned and serviced before they are sent out.

This is gonna be the first 777 in PIA with crescent and star on engines. Would look pathetic on these large sized Ge90s

Not necessarily. While I agree with you re the crescent/star on the engines, there is another idea floating about. Will know more in 5-6 days.
