UA1/2 CO1/2 brought about a whole mess of posts about which flight should get new UA1/2
But I do agree with you, if you are going to have UA1, it should be a special flight, your flagship flight.
Just my humble opinion.

ORD-HNL flight 1 and 2. Or the round the world flight. Both airlines had those flight numbers.

I am shocked that all three IAH-LHR frequencies will operate with the 763. Even with the upgraded interior on these birds, BA becomes a more comfortable way to travel as they use 747/777 on the IAH-LHR route.

I am a little surprised that IAH-LHR is going to all 763s... Maybe one or two will be upgauged in the summer. Where the heck are the 777s going?
IAH-LHR probably has the highest load factor for all LHR routes, maybe they just want to drive up fares.
As for UA 1/2, I would put this on EWR-HKG or EWR-TLV, but honestly I do not really care much about flight numbers.

2-1-2 seating in BF vs 2-2-2.
2-3-2 seating in Y vs 3-3-3.
Same seat types in BF, same type of AVOD throughout. Now tell me why a sCO 772 is better than an upgraded 2-class sUA 763, other than better overhead bins???
Having said that, it'll be a reduction of BF seats in the market, from 100 to 90 daily.

I was on an updated 767 & it was fine but like you, I'll take a 777 every time over a 763/764. But then I'll also take a 747 over a 777 which I know is not a popular opinion. Just wish UA never bought those 787's & went with he 77W & 77L's instead
