First flight is apparently 29 March - it took me by surprise. Does this mean that UA is doing away with all 747's?
No, UA is not getting rid of them. They are just moving them to routes where there is little or no competition.

UA seems to be relying on fortress hubs and a passenger base that has no choice of carriers these days.
