Jump to postWho knows about a new livery, but UA has repainted 35 aircraft already this year understanding usually more will be repainted after Labor Day. There were roughly 80 repainted in 2017. Now that the narrowbodies are through with mods, another paint program? Would the wave stay? Three Blues plus anoth...
Jump to postAny updates on the Polaris retrofits? There are tons of posts upthread regarding Polaris updates. It's a long, ongoing discussion. Also, here's a meticulously maintained website that give pretty much everything about the entire fleet.....including Polaris. https://sites.google.com/site/unitedfleets...

Looks like it skirted just around the North Korean border over Liaoning to me.
Alaska has already announced it is shifting to 739s on transcons. Alaska could learn a thing or two from United which in years past attempted to fly 739ERs on transcend routes from the Northeast and New England. During the summer time it wasn't a problem however during the winter UA was forced to l...
Jump to post797s. But before that 321s seem destined to take over most transcon with Delta, American, Jetblue, Spirit, HA, AS. Definitely on the small site. But it's availability, low CASM and flexibility compensate a lot. Alaska has already announced it is shifting to 739s on transcons. If Delta doesn't confi...
Jump to postIsn't it impossible to tell an sUA A319 apart from an sCZ A319 solely from the inside? You can tell the difference from the lav/galley configuration in back. exCZ aircraft have two lavs forward of the #2 doors and a full width galley in the back. UA aircraft have one lav and half a galley forward o...
Jump to postIt makes me nuts too. I want to make a mock Polaris ad of a business man in a suit in a jet bridge after deplaning with really bad bed head hair: Polaris, $7,400 from EWR, but no more comb in the amity kit” I think if I knew that the A350’s where arriving Jan 1st 2020, I’d be more understanding- bu...
Jump to postSomewhat on the same note, I saw that United is now using a different font for its registration numbers on both newly delivered and repainted aircraft. I'm not seeing it...can you provide specific comparison examples? For example, I looked at photos of a couple 737 Max of UA and the registration fo...
Jump to postTaiwan's case allows them to have 90,000 planes registered, not 100,000 as the 4-digits one are not for them :duck: I believe now the general aviation range is currently two numbers + two alphabets, e.g. B-10AB and the airliner range is three numbers + one alphabet (i.e. B-301D in this case). Micha...
Jump to postThey started randomly assigning digits (I believe starting with B-300/301 followed by A-Z) since earlier this year for Part 121 airliners; probably half year earlier for general aviation. They ran out of numbers to allocate (sans B-4xxx as this is reserved for military) and hence the change. Michae...
Jump to postSomewhat on the same note, I saw that United is now using a different font for its registration numbers on both newly delivered and repainted aircraft. Is this related?

Jump to postWhy does the Sichuan Airlines A350 have the registration B-301D? Don't Chinese registrations follow the format of B followed by a 4-digit number?

Jump to postThe domestic 777's won't be replaced any time soon. They just got reconfigured to 10 abreast. Just because they are somewhat old doesn't mean they are need to be retired. They are well maintained and have had a recent cabin refurbishment. When they reconfig to 10 abreast does that mean they need al...
Jump to postNot sure what this has to do with this thread. UA is well behind AA, DL and WN in total domestic passengers carried (as opposed to passenger miles), so it’s somewhat confusing to argue the importance of the domestic 777’s “massive capacity.” Especially when the aircraft are gently used outside of t...
Jump to postJust order some A350-900 with reduced MTOW like SIA and configure them with a lot of economy seats and personal entertainment screens (not in a 3-4-3 arrangement as that would be 16 inches)
Jump to postDelta Airlines recently ordered 100 A321neo aircraft, and of course there are tons of articles discussing this order. However, one of those articles struck me, and not in a good way. This article: https://airwaysmag.com/airlines/delta-orders-100-airbus-a321neos-says-no-boeings-737-max/ What's your ...
Jump to postThey also have a superior product, which is to be expected! Obviously despite the fact that they don't cost cut as much on the product front compared to UA or AA, they still manage to carry more passengers and command a revenue premium! Bravo to Delta!
Jump to postAirbus probably isn't familiar with the design at all. This is after all a BBD product, designed in Canada.
Jump to postIt’s actually not passenger friendly or unfriendly. It’s a business strategy. If you are one seeking the lowest cost across all the airline brands, they are listed right in front of you, if United is full there are plenty of other options and I presume that was the case even before this new 767 sup...
Jump to postI think I am right in saying that JFK gets the recently refurbished very high J 747s that only seat 275 passengers - 100 of whom are in F and J. So they should be the last of the BA 747s flying which gives BA some time to plan an appropriately high premium configured replacement. With new B787-10/A...
Jump to postOutstanding long haul orders are: 3 x 77W 18 x A350-1000 12 x 787-10 2 x 788 The 77Ws are to replace the three surviving non-ER 772s, between all the others 24 out of the remaining 36 744s will be replaced by 2022.

Jump to postWhat happened to the ATL-LAX 77L flight? I remembered that it was a daily, sometimes double daily service. I last flew it about a year ago, and when I went to check flight availability it seems they don't operate the flight anymore; rather the legacy 77L frequencies are replaced by 763 domestics and...

Jump to postWow! Another aircraft that is half Polaris, then with PE pushes it to over 50 premium. Similar to the 772. United is being very ambitious about selling lots of Polaris!

Jump to postAgreed except for the Economy pax. In a 767 and only 5 normal economy window seats. 5! That is not good at all. The centre section is economy and the window sides are mostly economy plus. That's just plain crazy especially for those of us who fly United AND love window seats but don't fly enough/ha...
