So will all 739 deliveries starting with 817 and going forward be delivered with WiFi already installed? And if that is the case will future 787-8/9 deliveries also have WiFi installed upon delivery to UA?

That would be nice. United.com doesn't show WiFi on N68817 that ferried today. Shows no IFE at all like others starting with 3801on sUA sied and 3465 on sCO side..

Oops, flight number or N68817 was 6866/11Feb.

Looks like a few of the remaining OO CR2s are either in for paint or got paint (basing this on Flightaware): N909SW and N983SW...possibly N978SW.

OO Paint:

Missed one for Paint: OO EMB-120 N292SW is in ROW as of 3/09. Appears that OO has no Gray aircraft left.

Quoting CALPSAFltSkeds (Reply 2): EMB-120 SkyWest (14/44) 221SW, 229SW, 233SW-235SW, 237SW, 290SW-291SW [2], 294SW-295SW, 562SW-563SW [2], 568SW, 658CT - [16 in UA blue paint, 2 in gray paint and 11 extra in SkyWest House Paint].

N658CT was a temporary tail number for N298SW.

Also there has been some changes in the EMB-120 fleet because of aircraft going off lease but lines of flying staying the same. OO currently has 46 EMB-120's active but appears that maybe N564SW and N578SW might be getting ready for lease return or are in heavy maintenance.

N874AS appears to have been operating flights on behalf of United Express since late October of last year. However, the latest photos I can find of this aircraft are from last spring, when it was in US Airways Express markings. I would presume it was repainted in the meantime, but does it carry United Express or SkyWest colors?

"United recently completed Wi-Fi installation on it's 200th aircraft. This is an important milestone given the complexity of satellite Wi-Fi – the video shown here is a time lapse video showing the significant amount of work that goes into each installation.
United's Airbus A320s are complete, and the first Wi-Fi-equipped international Boeing 777 began flying in early March. United plans to have Wi-Fi installed on more than half the fleet by this summer, with installations largely complete by the end of 2014 and the following near-term milestones:
· United will complete Boeing 747s in May
· United will complete A319s in June (only one aircraft remains without Wi-Fi)
· In the next several months United will complete more than 50 737 installations, including all 737-900ERs that currently do not have Wi-Fi or entertainment.
United is currently sending more than 25,000 emails per day to customers notifying them if United plans to make Wi-Fi available on their scheduled flights.
To determine if a flight offers Wi-Fi, check Inflight Amenities under Flight Status for a specific flight on united.com or on United's mobile app, look for the Wi-Fi logo on the side of the plane or listen for an announcement by the flight crew. For the most up-to-date information on Wi-Fi availability, please visit www.united.com/Wi-Fi."

"United Airlines was one of the “Big Four” airlines in the United States that dominated commercial travel for much of the 20th century and has remained one of the major U.S. airlines.

"United Aircraft and Transport Corporation split into its three parts, Boeing, United Aircraft, and United Air Lines."

Quoting CALTECH (Reply 20): United will complete A319s in June (only one aircraft remains without Wi-Fi)

It's going to take 3 months to install one wi-fi kit? You'd think they would just get it over with.

Quoting FriendlySkies (Reply 22): It's going to take 3 months to install one wi-fi kit? You'd think they would just get it over with.

Exactly what I was thinking, but maybe it's due for other Mx/work at the same time?

Similarly, N118UA is the last 744 without WiFi.

Question for everyone on this thread:

Is the work being done on the aircraft only cosmetics (paint/interior/wifi) or are they also doing major work on the airframe and engines? I am just amazed at the fact that they can have planes out of service for such a long period of time, it is very expensive to have a $200 MMM 777 idle for such a long time. It would make more sense to me if the planes also gets a major overhaul so as to come back on line better than new from an airworthiness perspective.

Quoting CALPSAFltSkeds (Reply 21): CALTECH, I wonder why the 2 month delay on N846UA to get last Airbus WiFi

Could look it up, probably when it is due or scheduled for a heavy check. No reason to take it out of service now and then again in 3 months.

With the introduction of Embraer E175s into service in May, does anyone have information on the Skywest and Mesa aircraft? Photos of the first in UAX Globe colors is on the Embraer website but cannot make out registration numbers or who it is going to. Here's another fleet type to track. Hope someone has some insights or inside information.

OO just announced that they are sending a group down to Brazil next week for the first delivery. N103SY is the first aircraft for OO. Going to ORD to continue the certification process.

What a fantastic site! Someone always steps up. Thanks for the E175 information.

Ships 818,819 and 910 now delivered   

Quoting iahcsr (Reply 29):

What are their first flights?

Don't have that info myself... But normal induction timeline is 7-10 days IIRC... CALTECH will know I'm sure.

Acft # 818 & # 819 have MX ETRs of 25 Mar 14 .

" It's been a busy week for aircraft deliveries at United.

United added three planes to it's fleet - a Boeing 737-900ER and a Boeing 787-8 on Thursday and one 737-900ER on Friday. The 737s carry the aircraft numbers 818 and 819. The 787, which is United's 10th, is number 910, a CHS bird.

The 787 is the second of six United will receive this year. United is the North American launch customer of the lightweight, fuel-efficient widebody. And United plans to take delivery of it's first 787-9, which is a stretched version of the -8, in July, acft # 950.

So far this year, United has received nine 737s out of an expected 29. The 737s replace older, less-efficient domestic 757-200s.

Maintaining a modern, fuel-efficient fleet is key to United's plan to trim $1 billion from it's fuel costs annually by 2017. United plans to take delivery of one more 737-900ER and United's first Embraer E175 this month."

Quoting CALPSAFltSkeds (Reply 2): ERJ-145 ExpressJet

The entire ExpressJet fleet is now painted. I saw 545 the other day and it was in the UA/CO colors.

The first 789 should be 930, not 950.... Don't expect them to order that many more 788s ..... But they never ask me about this stuff before hand      

I'm pretty sure CALTECH was correct. The first 787-900 will be aircraft 3950. It's already in the unimatic system. Of course it won't be delivered until July.

[Edited 2014-03-24 14:16:25]

I found a picture of N855RW in globe colors at ORD.

Yes it will be 0950... But I think it should have been 0930 to avoid wasting number sequencing. Sorry I wasn't clear earlier.      

Pardon if this was covered previous - we are no thread 19....

On the -800 the third coach lav is being pulled favor of economy plus?
Seems like they forgot what they figured out in the Continental days - the third lav is useful on the longer Central and South American legs - not to mention the cross country ones.
Wow. Disappointing.

Only 18 738s have the third lav. It was to be the new standard on all 738s before 9/11 happened. Now that the aircraft are coming due for D checks it was decided to end the sub-fleet.

Thanks!

Aircraft # 812 new United bird came through. Has the new SlimLine seats installed. Had a chance to sit in them. Very, very comfortable. Felt like a lot of cushion. Leather too. Nice looking interior. Co-pilot said much better than the Recaro seats in the Airbus. Like the new look. Has anyone flown Transcon on the new SlimLine seats ?

Looking at the image the E175 door appears a non-stair translating, yes?

Quoting durangomac (Reply 43): actual registration is N103SY

Odd place to start fleet numbers.... 103?!?!?

Quoting CALTECH (Reply 44): Co-pilot said much better than the Recaro seats in the Airbus.

Let's hope! That way, I can just plan my bookings around the 737 fleet. Eventually. When they get rid of the Koito park benches.
If Recaro is making the seats for the 'Bus refit, who is making the seats for the new 737s? If they're all Recaros, you'd expect a similar level of comfort/discomfort.

Quoting AA737-823 (Reply 46): Odd place to start fleet numbers.... 103?!?!?

SkyWest typically uses the full tail number, sometimes the serial number, doesn't have a different fleet number like others. The second aircraft is going to be N105SY to make the number scheme even better!! Probably N101SY, N102SY and N104SY were already taken but most of the rest of the N1xxSY range is open.

Quoting iahcsr (Reply 45): Looking at the image the E175 door appears a non-stair translating, yes?

Correct, no stairs, either air stairs or a jet bridge have to be used.

The SlimLine seats are made by BE Aerospace, supposedly based on their Pinnacle line. Recaro is a company based in Stuttgart Germany, BE Aerospace is a company based in Florida USA. I've heard good and bad about the Airbus seats, I'll check one out tomorrow. The SlimLines are good looking and comfortable.
