FWIW
the press release says $550M.
Questions below for the community since I don't expect UA Insider to address them directly.

Are Y seats going to be removed from the 767s or is it just going to be a very small premium cabin? Four 58" rows (to match existing six 38" rows) at 5 abreast would be just 20 seats, or less than 9% of the plane.
edit: I realize now reducing to 20 seats matches the 764 Hawaii birds, so I don't expect any Y removed.

Will F/E+ be located in the noisy front of the plane or the reportedly serene back of the plane?

Is there going to be power available on the 744 in whY or will the IFE only last as long as your battery can with an active wifi connection?

These aircraft will also offer Economy Plus, power ports at every row, on-demand audio and video and Wi-Fi service.
Removing 3 rows of F and adding 7 rows of whY - has premium demand imploded on this route? What's the mix of E+/E- going to be?
