Hey Caltech, open up this picture large and check the back ground. Is that a CO 747 in the maintenance hangar?

Quoting Cosyr (Reply 2): So after the A32X's get power, which fleets will be lacking it?

There are a few projects underway (one more 777, remaining 753s and the last few 737s) to finish up but:

Airbii, Micronesia 737s and the 3 cabin 763s should get power in Y as they are converted to 2 class configuration...those should be the last groups of aircraft to get power.

After that is completed all mainline aircraft will have power in at least F/J/Y+ (quite a few will have power in Y as well) on the UAX side the E175s have power in F.

For the record - Remaining aircraft mod projects:

Need Power:
319 and 320: ALL need power, to start in 3rd Quarter 2015 F/E+ only
73G: 4 new Copa units, 3 GUM units will return to Domestic, 1 GUM unit to remain in GUM, no pwer now
738: 3269 (last mid lav unit) to enter mod 7/9, 8 GUM units as they return to Domestic
752: sUA non ps units none have power, but will not receive prior to fleet exit (ps and Intl units all complete - all seats)
753: 6 units of 21 to go (all are Ex-TZ units)
763: 3 class unit have F/C only, all to be converted to 2 class and receive power to all seats
772: 2515 (Hawaiian unit)

Power complete:
739: All have power, (non-ER F/E+ only, ER units all seats with power)
744: All seats
764: All seats
788: All seats
789: All seats

WIFI needed:
73G: only 2 complete of 36 plus 4 Copa units
738: 3269 (last mid lav unit) to enter mod 7/9, 8 GUM as they return to Domestic
752: 9 sCO Intl units to go, 2 in mod. sUA domestic unit will not get WiFi, fleet exits soon
753: 8 sCO units and 1 ExTZ unit need WiFi
763: 9 3 class and 4 2 class units need WiFi
772: 2798 needs WiFi
788: first 11 units need WiFi

WiFi complete:
319
320
739/739ER, new units get WiFi before entering revenue service
744
764
789

Major retrofits:
763: 21 3 class units to get 2 class retrofit
772 9 Hawaiian units to get 10 across in Y and lie flats in F.
752: Fleet exit of sUA non ps fleet - ongoing
737NG - conversion to slimline seats, scimitar winglets
738/73G: swap between domestic and GUM units - ongoing
73G: induction of 4 Copa units - ongoing

Does anyone know how far along the Airbus fleet is with the new blue seat covers that have the UA tag on them?

Quoting STT757 (Reply 1): Hey Caltech, open up this picture large and check the back ground. Is that a CO 747 in the maintenance hangar?

Looks more like a Airbus A-300. That is now the UNITED North Hangar. Think that was when the new Globe image was getting installed on the CAL Fleet. Prophetic photo.

Quoting bpat777 (Reply 5): Does anyone know how far along the Airbus fleet is with the new blue seat covers that have the UA tag on them?

# 4704, N474UA, had the Blue SlimLines Monday, when we worked on her.

739 N47414 confirmed via photo with Scimitars.

Quoting CALPSAFltSkeds (Reply 4): Major retrofits: 763: 21 3 class units to get 2 class retrofit 772 9 Hawaiian units to get 10 across in Y and lie flats in F. 752: Fleet exit of sUA non ps fleet - ongoing 737NG - conversion to slimline seats, scimitar winglets 738/73G: swap between domestic and GUM units - ongoing 73G: induction of 4 Copa units - ongoing

Is there a start date yet for the conversion of the 3 class 777-200 to domestic 2 class?

Quoting DC8FanJet (Reply 8): Is there a start date yet for the conversion of the 3 class 777-200 to domestic 2 class?

Oops,. forgot that one. Don't know the date, but may match up with 773s or more 789s.

752:
N18112 exited MIA 2133/8Jul with Intl WiFi
N13113 entered MIA 2132/8Jul for WiFi

763:
N662UA sked to enter MIA 2141/9Jul, seems like lot's of short 763 maint visits lately

738:
N76269 sked to enter INT 2122/9Jul for WiFi/winglets/slimlines (not sure if I posted this on Part 24)
Last midlav flight looks like 1611/9Jul ORD-EWR, prior to INT ferry.

E175:
N145SY - Entered service on 7/1/2015 - Skywest
N88329 - Entered service on 7/5/2015 - Mesa
N88330 - Delivered but not yet in service - Mesa

Quoting CALPSAFltSkeds (Reply 4): 772 9 Hawaiian units to get 10 across in Y and lie flats in F.

Hadn't seen that one announced. Is there further information publicly available?

Any word on when the streaming entertainment will be turned on for the 73NG fleets? I used the system last September on a UA A320, worked great. Is the system that will be rolled out to the 73NG fleets be dramatically different than what's in the Airbus fleet? My most recent UA flight two weeks ago was on a 2014 build 739, the wifi was solid and I was even able to stream You Tube. Is streaming Netflix, Hulu etc.. something that passengers will eventually be able to do over the wifi? I know I read someplace that they were going to stream DirecTV, any updates on that?

Quoting n515cr (Reply 7): 739 N47414 confirmed via photo with Scimitars.

Scimitars installed.

Quoting DC8FanJet (Reply 8): Is there a start date yet for the conversion of the 3 class 777-200 to domestic 2 class?

Scheduled 2016, Feb.

Quoting STT757 (Reply 11): Any word on when the streaming entertainment will be turned on for the 73NG fleets? I used the system last September on a UA A320, worked great. Is the system that will be rolled out to the 73NG fleets be dramatically different than what's in the Airbus fleet?

Airbus Fleet has a Panasonic GCS WiFi Ku Band System.

On the 737NGs, it is a Thales LiveTV KA band Wifi System.

On the Boeing 757 PS aircraft, it is the Go-Go WiFi System.

N514UA Fleet Exit this month.

99% sure the answer is 0.

I'd imagine the ERJ-145s go to the desert rather than the paint shop.

Interesting observation. Ex-GUM 738 N13227 is returning to service, but apparently without DTV or WiFi per united.com.

Is this a website error, or is there a reason that it will be flying completely dark?

Does anyone know what the 757 fleet will look like after all currently planned retirements and conversions? My understanding based on this thread and others is that there will be two remaining 757 configurations - P.S. and International. How many will there be of each? Will the TATL 757s that get freed up by 763s be transitioned to the P.S. configuration before they start operating on EWR-SFO/EWR-LAX?

Also, how many domestic 757s are yet to be retired? Based on looking at schedules there can't be that many domestic 757s left in the fleet as is...

41 sCO 757-200s with 16 BusinessFirst seats and AVOD throughout. WIFI being installed.
15 sUA PS 757-200s with 28 Businessfirst seats and AVOD, WIFI.
21 sCO 757-300s, 9 with Directv and 12 with streaming entertainment and wifi.
15 sUA domestic 757s still in service, 11 to withdrawn by the end of the year. The remaining to be withdrawn in 2016.

Quoting FSDan (Reply 27): Will the TATL 757s that get freed up by 763s be transitioned to the P.S. configuration before they start operating on EWR-SFO/EWR-LAX?

The International sCO 757s are identical to the sUA PS birds except they have a smaller Business first cabin (16 v. 28). They will not be reconfigured, the peak hour EWR-LAX/SFO flights will get the sUA PS aircraft and the off peak hours will get the sCO International 757s.

Quoting STT757 (Reply 28): The International sCO 757s are identical to the sUA PS birds except they have a smaller Business first cabin (16 v. 28).

And the engines, da engines be different.

Quoting CALTECH (Reply 30):

The charter 744 is being retired?

From a passenger perspective the International 752s have a little bit different AVOD system as well....lower capacity, different interface and a bit small screen than on the PS ones. Other than that...same ride as on the -222s

Additional difference: sUA PS 757-200s have GoGo WiFi and PDE. sCO 757-200s have Panasonic WiFi and PDE. Although that's probably not obvious to a traveler either.

I think it should be N105UA in Nov-15, 194UA is not due for next heavy inspection until 2016.

I'm not sure if either have the streaming video (PDE) system installed actually...as for WiFi had forgotten about that difernace. Supposedly UA is coming out by the end of the year with an overlay page for the WiFi systems that will logging into each system identical.

Quoting United1 (Reply 36): I'm not sure if either have the streaming video (PDE) system installed actually.

Fleet status website's tally matches up with United website's percentage (last toggle box to see the percentage installed) so I guess the only 757s with PDE at the moment are the ex-ATA 757-300s.

Quoting United1 (Reply 36): Supposedly UA is coming out by the end of the year with an overlay page for the WiFi systems that will logging into each system identical.

Recent app releases have included "support for GoGo" in their "what's new" section. Since WiFi internet is WiFi internet and doesn't need any particular support from an app, I assume that means GoGo PDE is baked into the app now. I imagine that interface is already unified in the eyes of the user.

Quoting Cosyr (Reply 38): I know that UA is not included with any monthly plans from GoGo, but is UA's gogo service completely different than other airlines?

One can still get UA on the GoGo Unlimited monthly plan.

I wouldn't be surprised to see them switch to a satellite-based system on the p.s. flights to remain competitive...perhaps the GoGo version?

ERJ-145XR N18114 is now flying with Trans States
ERJ-145XR N14125 has returned to the ExpressJet fleet
ERJ-145 N812HK is in TransStates house livery
ERJ-145 N825HK is back flying with TransStates (was in maintenance)
ERJ-145XR N14198 is still in ExpressJet active fleet (is in for C-check)

So I'm sitting at the BOS UA Club and there are currently two sUA, non-P.S. B752s sitting at gates 24 & 25...that's a scene that isn't long for this world  

CALTECH is correct, 194UA will leave the fleet, last flight is mid-September.

Quoting Cosyr (Reply 38): I know that UA is not included with any monthly plans from GoGo, but is UA's gogo service completely different than other airlines? For frequent travelers on NYC-LAX/SFO, is this going to cause an annoyance with a different account depending on the flight? I would have predicted that new UA would ditch GoGo, but now with the service on Express, I suppose there's no reason they need to.

Same GoGo system as on other airlines and you can get a day pass, one hour or the monthly unlimited pass from GoGo...

Quoting DC8FanJet (Reply 42):

Odd. It had a heavy check in 2010 and just had extensive repairs done not even a year ago.

Quoting CALPSAFltSkeds (Reply 40): N33209 exited MCN 7/22/15 with scimitars

I saw no scimitars on said aircraft flying into SEA today.

The UA mainline fleet list (which is kept fairly updated) does not show Ship 0209 as scimitar-ed yet either. 0206/7 are, so it's likely a typo

ERJ-145XR N12122 has left ExpressJet for eventual transfer to TSA

Quoting CALPSAFltSkeds (Reply 47): Fleet plan update from Earnings call today.

Interesting note from this information: UAL states they have 123 737NG/737MAX on order. Boeing orders and deliveries state 100 MAX and 10 737-900ER's. Both updates are as of June 30. So, did UA option 13 additional 737's? If so, what type?
