N78005 looks like it entered HKG maint after flight 117/24Mar

sUA 752 exit list:
A FedEx/UA 752 sale thread on ANet states UA 752 fleet exit dates for 2012:
3/13 508UA
4/13 527UA
5/13 506UA
7/13 573UA, 574UA
8/13 503UA, 507UA, 511UA, 515UA, 519UA, 554UA, 555UA
9/13 557UA, 560UA
11/13 525UA, 533UA
12/13 509UA, 544UA

The thread noted that beginning in Sept, 739ER units will be going into the sUA fleet. This makes sense as 735s are to be replaced by the next new 739ER, then sUA752s will be replaced by 739ERs.
The 739ERs are to still be designated 737-924ER. Let's hope that specific flights may be operated by 739ER units, but that sUA crews will not be tied to those exact aircraft units. Does anyone see this an a potential operational performance issue?
