That's funny.... He was one of the first impacts I thought about when I initially read this as well.
As others have mentioned, I think it'll be telling as to whether LAX-LHR goes 787 so soon. I would think it would be one of those two or three routes UA would keep 3-class as long as possible because of the [presumed] F demand.
Also, the IAH-LOS flight (assuming it sticks around and has to remain 788) likely means there will be a domestic DEN-IAH and/or IAH-LAX 788 turn indefinitely.
