SFO-DFW, last flight of the day, arriving a/c from YVR went mechanical, and a couple of hours after published departure a 320 was substituted for 319. Still arrived in Dallas about 2 a.m. Monday

And of course the KIX-SFO changed THREE times 2-4 days before departure from old config 777 to new and back to old (on both UA.com and unitedcargo.com).

And of course the only reason I was on said flight was because UA cancelled my PVG-SFO nonstop about FIVE days before the flight
