It has a much better cockpit.
It more cramped(for economy class passengers).
I think its faster.
You'll get used to it, don't worry.

Yeah - you're full of it. Since you don't have a type rating or IOE, I'm sure they didn't just throw a 777 your way.
Grow up.
And to the other answerers ... the 777 is SMALLER than the 747. Although in standard UAL configuration, it can hold approximately the same number of pax. UAL has a three class config on all the 747s, while most of the 777s in domestic service have only F and Y classes.
The 747 and the 777ER have a similar range.
They both cruise at M.84, but the 747 has a slightly higher Vmo.

Don't worry! The 777 is a little smaller than the 747, you're a bit lower to the ground, and there are only two engines; however, it is a beautiful plane. I've been on an AA 777, and I saw the cockpit; it's really nice.
Don't worry, it'll be just fine.

The B777 is as great as the B747. Just a bit smaller and almost the similar cockpit. Its a great aircraft to fly and I am sure you will enjoy your operation with the 777. I suggest go ahead in the change and good luck.

The 777 is a bigger plane and has more bathrooms.
