What does that have to do with anything?
The 777 is a huge aircraft. It has a maximum passenger capacity of 550 people.
If you can have 550 people lives in your hands and are making mistakes like this, it doesn't matter if it's the smallest aircraft in their fleet.
And before anyone bothers to point it out, I know this particular airframe was not configured for 550. But being the smallest in the fleet means absolutely nothing.
