Interesting...this past February I had a return trip on AA between JFK-LHR-JFK using 777 sitting in the same seat (23H)...
On the flight over, I could not bring the tray table down and extend the second part...now I do have a bit of a tummy (so I thought to myself boy have I really gained weight (not good of course) since the last time (August) I had flown the route, but then I looked around and everybody was having the same problem but not quite to the same degree...I barely was able to fit the dinner tray on the 1/2 part and had no extra room for the can of soda.
The return flight, remember same seat, same aircraft type (777) lo and behold the tray table came down easily with plenty of room to extend the second part and actually fit the lunch tray as well as the can of soda...of course I wrote to customer service and their answer was they have no clue...obviously the two planes are configured somewhat differently in terms of coach at least or maybe on the return I got one of the pre reconfiguration 777's....
