On a heavy weight 777-200 a low speed climbing RA can be a bit skinny and descending RA's below 1,000' are not good for your health either. I've flown SFO to PEK in a 777-200 a couple of times and you are right at MGTOW of 640,00lbs.

I'm just throwing that into the mix, not sure how relevant it is as I can't get the videos to open.
