United Fleet Upgrade Status - Part 26 (by KarelXWB Sep 15 2015 in Civil Aviation)

"Also United is not short large narrowbodies - it in fact might even have too many. It needs small narrowbodies - hence the 737-700 and A319 leases plus looking at a 100-seater."

So . . . Planespotters has a screen showing **42** used 319s being "Due" from China Southern by way of AerCap. How accurate is the number?

Quoting kgaiflyer (Reply 1): So . . . Planespotters has a screen showing **42** used 319s being "Due" from China Southern by way of AerCap. How accurate is the number?

We have tried to check this information as well. At a first stage that were announced that United will get 25 former China Southern A319s from AerCap and now there were informations around, that United also get 17 former Spirit Airlines A319s from AerCap. Not sure if the 2nd has replaced the first contract or if it is an addition.

Just FYI on the UA fleet website the 319 page shows a gap in the reg# sequence from the current 855 to the first CS aircraft 871. What the significance of this gap may or may not be I have no idea.

Remind me when the first 77W is arriving? With AA's announcement yesterday about W class, I expect UA to introduce it with the arrival of this new fleet type. I suspect it was already in the works, and AA just beat them to the announcement, but there's still time for UA to be first to market in the US.

A little disappointed that UA was the first to offer Y+, almost 10 years before AA or DL caught up, and now instead of upping their game, they're getting lapped.

Quoting iahcsr (Reply 3):

856-859 are open and available registrations but 860-870 are reserved by various people like the US Dept of interior. 888UA is also taken. UA did reserve 897-899UA on November 12. Maybe they'll eventually get the other registrations.

This is exactly why CO used the Nxx### pattern. AA & DL get around this by using letter combinations other than AA/DL when needed to keep the # squence intact. UA could, and perhaps should, do the same.

738/739s have added two rows ...so in theory 12/106 could become 12/118.

73G:
Assume pitch goes to F 37", E+ 34" & Y 30"
That picks up 13 inches in front of the exit and 11 inches behind the exit.
You'd need 17 more inches to add a row of Y before the exits and 19 more inches to add a row behind the exits. Would have to slim the galley/closet in front and 2 rear lavs.

Any info on ship #733 flying with part of the right scimitar missing? I watched it on final approach to EWR a few days ago, the under wing tip aircraft right side was missing. Didn't know the aircraft would be approved to fly like that. I was in the employee parking lot, so I was directly under the aircraft on approach to runway 4R.

So the 73Gs remain 12/106...

Quoting av8ornta (Reply 15):

The aircraft can be operated if both ventral strakes are removed, not just one. I have seen a few times on approach it appears only one is missing but later I confirmed I was wrong. Seems the strakes play tricks with our eyes sometimes.

As far as slimline on the -700 there is not enough room to gain an extra row but the idea is to have common seats/interiors.

Deleted. Misread what I was looking at.

Not possible unless it came off in flight. Not allowed to fly that way. See this thread for more info,.....

Quoting Boeing12345 (Reply 17): As far as slimline on the -700 there is not enough room to gain an extra row but the idea is to have common seats/interiors.

   Common interiors would be the biggest benefit. Rumor was that Slim LAVs will be retrofitted to some 737 NGs. Still do not think that will give enough for a extra row, unless like on some of the new 737-900ERs, there is a regular Y section in front of the emergency exits between E+ rows.

Commonality is great and weight helps, but I can't believe UA would invest in slimline seats without an increase in seating.

Before the seat numbers were kept constant I believe the following would be considered.
Slim lavs in rear of aircraft
Reduce width of closet and galley behind front doors.
Take F down to 36 inch pitch, AS has 36 inch pitch in F.
Consider 33" pitch in E+
Convert one row of E+ to Y in front of exit.
add the A and F seat in exit row due to alignment changes. This was done with 319 slimline reconfiguration.
Drop Y to 29" pitch.

12F, 106Y (E+, Y 66) is current
I'm guessing the final configuration could be as high as
12F, 120Y (E+ 36, Y 84) 2 rows plus A/F seats in exit row
We also could end up with
12F, 108Y, A/F seats in exit rows
12F, 114Y, A/F seats in exit row plus a row behind exits
12F, 118Y, two rows of Y, probably convert 1 E+ row to Y

I thought they'd been re-certified: https://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/continental-submits-plan-to-faa-to-re-certify-koito-361480/

Nice summary of things:
http://airwaysnews.com/blog/2015/12/...5/united-airlines-2016-fleet-plan/

Nice summary but a few things are off a bit:

73G: Power in F and E+ only, not all seats. Correctly states 3 73G returning from GUM and 4 going to GUM, giving GUM 5 73G vs. previous 4. (3736 stays in GUM operation.

738s: had been 8 in GUM operation, currently 9 with 2 in old GUM config to return soon for slimline domestic config. This will leave GUM operation with 7 slimlines vs. original 8 738s. No change in GUM frame counts except one 738 is replaced with a 73G.

744: Don't see the January 2016 fleet exit. Agree with 2 each in 2016/2017/2018

752: UA has 60 currently, not 74. (sometimes there is confusion adding 21 753s to 757 total). 41 sCO International aircraft, 15 sUA ps units and 4 standard sUA 752s that will exit as the Airways story says.

763: 2 class conversion has begun with one mod line - no date on completion or if added mod lines will begin.

772: 9 A model aircraft fly GUM-HNL/NRT and mainland-Hawaii. This will not change except these 9 units will get 28 lie flat F seats vs. 32 7 across Business seats. The 10 other A model aircraft will be converted from ITPE to the same Domestic/Hawaii configuration as the 9 other A models, thus allowing for domestic and added Hawaiian flying.

UAX: E170s also getting WiFi

Quoting CALPSAFltSkeds (Reply 25): 763: 2 class conversion has begun with one mod line - no date on completion or if added mod lines will begin.

N661UA is in HKG for the mod for 4 months...how long will each take or is the case where first one the trial one and take longer?

We should see the next 789 first flight soon if they plan on Jan delivery.

Quoting CALTECH (Reply 20):

Thanks for the info, I was close enough to read the tail number; I guess I must have been seeing things, (or not)!

Next question- with the LOPA on the 777-300 aircraft being so dense, (60J, 110Y+, 196Y), will this aircraft be too heavy to fly some of the ULH missions previously discussed, i.e. EWR-HKG, EWR-BOM, EWR-DEL?

73G:
N39728 exited INT 2121/19Dec with WiFi/scimitars.
This is 20th 73G with WiFi, 50% of the fleet, which includes GUMN and 4 Copa units.
N17753 shows in EWR since 1138/4Dec, not sure what's going on here.

739:
N75428 dentered MCN 2135/17Dec, probable slimline/scimitar mod

I flew on ship 3220 for EWR-SJO last night, and one thing that bothered me: Why do I have to swipe my credit card just to access the air show? Or is that part of the DirecTV programming?

And another question (I know this may be OT): Ship 6446 suffered a birdstrike on the right engine, yet continued to HAM, where the engine was successfully repaired, and after some issues with getting the LBA to clear the aircraft for my flight to EWR, we took off with nearly 3 hours delay. I do wonder how the aircraft was capable of crossing the Atlantic with one damaged engine (or did the birdstrike happen after the crossing), considering that most of the time, the aircraft has to divert after a birdstrike.

E170s that were transferred to Republic are indeed returning to Shuttle. They were substituted aircraft used to fill in the EWR ops while the Q400s were sent to DEN, and before Republic had taken delivery of sufficient E175s. There will likely be some more shuffling, but in the end Shuttle America will operate the entire E170 fleet.

Quoting CALPSAFltSkeds (Reply 46): 2105 summary of changes Mainline 4 73Gs from Copa Added 23 739ERs added 2 744s removed, including charter unit 11 752s removed 11 789s added

United really got their use out of those airplanes,  

Quoting CALPSAFltSkeds (Reply 25): 772: 9 A model aircraft fly GUM-HNL/NRT and mainland-Hawaii. This will not change except these 9 units will get 28 lie flat F seats vs. 32 7 across Business seats. The 10 other A model aircraft will be converted from ITPE to the same Domestic/Hawaii configuration as the 9 other A models, thus allowing for domestic and added Hawaiian flying.

Any word on the timeline for this beyond the February start? How many 777s will be in mods at once? I'll be interested to see if any 777-200As are left flying across the Atlantic come next summer, or if they will all have been converted or be in progress.

Quoting CALPSAFltSkeds (Reply 46): UAX 61 50-seater jets were removed from service 16 Q400s were removed from service The entire fleet of 44 EM120s were retired. 52 76-seat E75s were delivered.

When does UAX finally reach the bottom of their fleet count and actually begin to realize a net gain in fleet size? Not just seat numbers but actual frames that will allow frequencies to be more competitive.
