Jump to postmy Max flight today was swapped to a 739, which sucked b/c UA unassigned my seat when they swapped a/c. That;s odd. I thought they had the same seating chart? they do, which is why I don't understand, so now its a matter of asking someone to switch with either me or MRS. Pain! The 739 fleet has 3 d...
Jump to postany news on the 764's that are coming out of storage? are they entering heavy checks and Polaris retrofits?
Jump to postI'm curious to see if UA will keep the 764's and retrofit them with the new Polaris and PE seats. Those planes are extremely comfortable, and this would be their chance to modernize that plane.
Jump to postHello Everyone, I hope you’re all well. I seem to have lost the plot on one topic: Polaris refurbishments. Since the pandemic struck, I am sure that I read UA stopped all refurbishments to 772’s and 789’s. However I heard that refurbishments have restarted. I’m unsure I believe that given the cost....

Jump to postI was watching a video on youtube on how Airbus builds the A350 and noticed they move the plane to different hangers throughout the build process.

Jump to postI don't know the aircrafts registration number was but my first flight on a 777 was on UA in 1997 ORD-MIA (the 6:20pm) departure.

They will be losing their heavy lifter.....the A359 cannot do with the 777ER/LR can do when it comes to cargo and range. then again, the a359 will be cheaper to operate...??
they should keep the 764's and use them on the SFO/LAX-EWR as PS birds. dedicated route for the 764 like the old days when UA flew a mix of 763 and 762 on the SFO-JFK route!
Jump to postThis looks like the end for the 764s and PW757s. In an email I got earlier today. "Currently, we’ve parked 450 mainline aircraft and 300 United Express aircraft across 23 locations. Some of those planes were already slated for retirement, including our B767-400 and B757 PS fleets." Intere...

Jump to postWhat UA should do is once the 737 MAX 10 gets delivered is install Polaris and fly them between EWR/BOS-SFO/LAX.
