Quoting CALTECH (Reply 208): Will be able to CDL them, just have to remove the other one too. |
Quoting AA737-823 (Reply 209): That's a big plus; will they have to put the standard wingtip devices back on, as we do now with the blended winglet CDL? Because it defeats the purpose of being able to CDL them if you DON'T stock the original flat wingtip pieces!! But I'm betting it's the same setup, given it's just a modified blended winglet. How nice, you're going to all LED's... I wish we would! |
Quoting AA737-823 (Reply 209): Is this project still taking place? Last time it was discussed, I strongly defended UA for refreshing the birds, but at the rate they're leaving, I'd be surprised if they continued. |
Quoting AA737-823 (Reply 209): Is that number still accurate? Or has UA parked more 757-222s since then? |
Quoting CALTECH (Reply 210): Meant the Winglet Ventral Strake, the new downward pointing part of the winglet. Hope people stay aware that it's out there on the tip, 'cause it is bigger than first thought. |
Quoting CALTECH (Reply 210): Parking 1-4 birds every month, or actually, most of them this year are going to FedEx. |
Quoting CALPSAFltSkeds (Reply 212): Does anyone know what's going on with UA's Micronesian operation? It looks like a second 738, N36247 is headed to GUM via MAJ, 6852/18Feb. |
Quoting CALPSAFltSkeds (Reply 212): The fleet site will not receive updates for a few days as I'll be out of reach. Expect N212UA to exit SFO any day now in Hawaiian config and expect N210UA to head to mod. Besides some Airbuses getting seats/WiFi and maybe 744/763 paint action, don't expect much else. |
Quoting CALPSAFltSkeds (Reply 182): N38454 entered INT 6860/6Feb, possible E+ |
Quoting n515cr (Reply 214): Looks like it did a test flight on Feb 17. |
Quoting shaq (Reply 221): Caltech I have a question: Does UA have a mainteinance base at SEA or they outsource induction work? |
Quoting CALTECH (Reply 218): # 814, 815 and 816 are all in Induction over in SEA. |
Quoting CALPSAFltSkeds (Reply 224): See 3814, not 3815 or 3816 yet |
Quoting CALPSAFltSkeds (Reply 224): See 3814, not 3815 or 3816 yet |
Quoting Amwest2united (Reply 225): You won't see them, they are being delivered to SEA, instead of BFI. |
Quoting ordramper98 (Reply 228): I see 3478 is in Moses Lake. I'm assuming it's there for testing on the Scimitars for the 900ER's |

Quoting n515cr (Reply 227): 739 N68452 exiting INT in time to fly a revenue flight tomorrow. Shows E+ on ua.com |
Quoting CALTECH (Reply 236): Quoting iahcsr (Reply 223): Is the reg# for the 789 known yet? N38950 Fleet Number # 950 looks like. |
Quoting iahcsr (Reply 239): Nxx8xx are the newer 739ERs, up to 849 anyway. |
Quoting DualQual (Reply 241): Methinks at some point the old CO way of numbering is going to have to get modified. Start going to NxxxUA (as the PW 757s start leaving those regs should be available) or go to NxxxUC/NxxxUL or similar. |
Quoting jetblastdubai (Reply 246): It seems like there is a never-ending stream of UA aircraft rotating thru various maintenance centers and that's a lot of lift sitting indoors. Is this normal for a carrier of this size or is some/lot of this related to the merger integration yet...paint/seats/bins/ wi-fi etc? |
Quoting jetblastdubai (Reply 246): At what point can UA get back to keeping more planes in revenue service and out of the retrofit shops or is this work being done in tandem with other required work? |
Quoting AA737-823 (Reply 247): And the narrowbody mods are all about saving cash and increasing revenue - they're putting MORE SEATS in everything. |
