Every time I ask UA they continue to play by the old "no UDU out of the 50 states" rule. UA has never had a domestically configured plane outside of the US really so I think it is a matter of them not adjusting their rules. Furthermore, I think it is rather inconsistent to have three flights per day on UACO and have one of them eligible for an u/g while the other two are not, when the flights were eligible (on pure CO metal) before November 1 (and will be after the Q1 system merge).
These things take time and UA is operating internationally configured equipment in Asia. Would you rather have no UDU on any flights until everything is ready?
