Umm, United Fleet Status?

But why not go with your original post/conspiracy theory, in bold and in all red to boot? FT (at least this forum) has really gone downhill, with folks posting without a lick of research - and everything being linked to a status downgrade for Premiers.

OP: The easiest indicator that there is no E+ on the a/c would have been... the seatmap showing no E+.
Just for the record, UA's E+ is real E+ -- there really is more space. So the would be absolutely no sense in making those seats available as regular economy seating. It wouldn't just be a reduction in premier benefits, it would be the elimination of a revenue stream and otherwise absolutely idiotic. No conspiracy theory could possibly explain how UA would benefit from that move.

I was being a little "tonque-in-cheek" in my previous post above about the suggestion of cutting benefits for E+ seating, especially for Silver Premiers
. I simply threw the question out there and figured someone would have good information for me to use.The folks who maintain the fleet page at http://sites.google.com/site/unitedfleetsite/ do a great job — navigate to United Mainline Fleet ==>> Boeing 737-900 ===> and filter down to AIRCRAFT = 3451.
You can get the ship number for your flight from the united.com "flight status" page or from the mobile.united.com status page — both will say what aircraft number is assigned to operate your flight.

Thanks mherdeg for your useful information. I appreciate that you took the time to post a comment. I was unaware of the above site and will certainly find the information useful in the future.
