Uadc8contrail...a/c 9890 left AMA for ORD last night (the 18th). It went straight into the line today! Only ORD-spoke flying for the next few days, but it will start flying through DEN by Monday or Tuesday. Two other 737s are being painted now and should be done very soon.

It seems the 737s with a Shuttle livery (esp the white-top ones) are a high priority. I can't wait to see one, but I really want to see one of the 747s or 757s! I will pull up routings for the flights and post them soon.

wilcharl,
i stand corrected.....9866 is in ama and 9888 is in new iberia.....9885 is flying down to ARA on 2/22 to swap out with 9888 and 9894 is going to AMA on 2/24 to swap out with 9866....first 37 out should be 9888,,,,,i believe you saw the orig shuttle 37 white top blue bottom......its still flying around didnt know it was out east.......

Are you saying 9880 is in the new livery or the old white-top Shuttle livery? Do a RTGHIS for a/c 9880 and you'll see it just left AMA..."From paint".

Do you know which DIS page shows the paint schedule? I'd love to be able to track the schedule and the planes once they're out of the shop!

I have a UA pilot in the fam (no I'm not trying to show off) but he said that it is very possible. All the 737's are going in for their e+ out fitting. While doing this it makes sense to paint them instead of pulling them out of the line 2 times. I was listening in on a media conf. call between the news and UA and they are only planning on painting 70 something of their jets this year. I think that his sighting of the 737 is an actual sighting and we should expect to see more in the near feature. (and yes I know people are giving me a hard time about not knowing how to spell but the spell checker on my comp. is a little messed up)

When in unimatic go to DIS page 2008 and 2009, those are thepaint schedules for the 737's.

Dis page 2015 is the 777 paint schedule.

they are doing a lot more 737's than any other fleet type right now. I don't even think I have seen the 75's or 74's going in.

wjv04,
I will keep my eyes open on the routings, let you know when one is coming to town. They will, so be patient, and get the camera ready. Laugh out loud

How much longer until we see a 744, a 757, a 763, or a 762 in the UA new colors. I can tell you this...the Airbus A320 and the Airbus A319 will look fantastic in the new UA colors...I already know it...they look good in just about any livery.

Word I had from a UA employee was that only 3 777s and 7 737s this year are scheduled for painting into the new colors. The A320s are heavily scheduled for painting into TED colors as that program expands. This is purely heresay, but the 72 planes that are scheduled to be in new colors by the end of 2004 are likely to include a lot of RJs for Air Wis, Skywest and TransStates.

My two cents,
Jeffrey
ps-I like the colors and would love the Airbus' in new colors added to my slide collection
