Are you saying that UA is only operating five (5) 747-400's? That doesn't seem accurate given the daily flights operated (ORD-HKG, ORD-NRT, SFO-NRT (2x), SFO-HKG).</font>
I agree there should be more than 5 747-400s in operation. In addition to your list, there is the SFO-PVG flight using the 747-400.

It takes 2 747-400s to operate a round-trip transpacific route, so based on the current flight schedule, there should be at least 12 in operation.
