Re: United Airlines Fleet Discussion - 2024

I don't think the 753 makes any sense to an airline like United once they start to get enough 321s. The 321s will cover the missions they use their 753s on, just in a modified way. Today, where they operate mixed 753s and 737s, it might just be all 321s. Similarly, where they operate 4-5 753s, they...

Re: United Airlines Fleet Discussion - 2024

Anything a 764 can do, a 788 can do better. Anything a 77L can do that involves UA’s network, a 789 can do much cheaper. We all know that most of the potential 748 customers spurned it for the 77W. The out-of-production aircraft that really isn’t replaceable yet is the 753, and I bet that if UA cou...

Re: United Airlines Fleet Discussion - 2024

Welcome back Ted, rawr! We love 18” all economy 767’s! Am I counting correct? I see 9 windows in available fuselage aft of the Door 1 cutout in the Tupelo pic of 646, but the patch above on 641 has 10. Did they cut out the fuselage from the rear of 646 to use? More than that, the cutout portion on ...

Re: United Airlines Fleet Discussion - 2024

In terms of first, I'm pretty sure American Airlines was the first transcontinental airline. Both with the DC-7 and the 707s. Technically, since they acquired TWA, yes. But it was Transcontinental & Western Air who offered the first non-stop transcontinental flights. Transcontinental & West...

Re: United Airlines Fleet Discussion - 2024

After reviewing the incidents being reported, none of them seem to be due to 'maintenance' or mechanic issues, IMHO. There were part failures, but didn't see anything performed wrong by 'maintenance.' Many of aircraft parts are made to last to the next parts change timed or failure, or to overhaul. ...

Re: United Airlines Fleet Discussion - 2024

Great pick. Now we know why it took so long and why it needs paint. Curious if they will paint the whole "UNITED" and top third of the airframe over again or just the part that is exposed. A spot job might show bad in a few years. There are 3-4 more 300s to paint, and I'm curious if they ...

Great pics, Caltech! The 5th one of those pics (from the top) is closest to what was on the A319 I rode, except that the tape used there was in much worse condition, with the forward edges frayed and peeled up into the airstream. In addition, there was another piece of tape in good condition (no fr...

Yeah, I've heard of speedtape and the like, but one of those pieces was frayed quite a bit with the tape edges sticking up into the airstream.
