When did 1880 (SEA-EWR) change from 4pm to 2:30pm? I loved the "gentleman's redeye"; it allowed me to work through 2pm or so before the flight back. This new flight kinda stinks.

I'm ticketed on that flight in a couple of weeks. When I went to book I didn't recall a 2:30pm flight. But there it was, with nothing later but the red eye.

on a different route 766 ONT- IAH is gone as well, even though the flight seemed about 80% full eact time. Oh well, time go back to US as the only viable option out of ONT in the afternoon or I might want to consider a drive to LAX. (ONT to LAX in rush hour traffic in SoCal? Ugh)

Yep, they're still cutting. I'm seeing it on some of my more frequent routes. Flights that existed before Christmas are no more now; and other flights have been downsized from a 73G or 733 to a 735.

Highly doubtful. UA has already been cutting overlapping routes. They dropped EWR-LAX altogether. I see UA dropping SFO-IAH since that is mostly a feeder flight for all the transpac flights.
Add to the list SFO-EWR. We're down to five departures and the 9am ish flight is gone. SFO-CLE is down to once a day as well, at one point it was up to three, though I can't remember how long ago that was. Even LAS-EWR seems light at only five flights a day.
