Cross posting from UA pilot Q & A thread
OK, no answers there, so perhaps someone here knows can shed a light. 895 on Monday, 28 December apparently got diverted to SFO, from where (I assume) it flew next day to HKG as UA2102.
What I did NOT seen yesterday (Tuesday) was UA869, but according to UA's
Flight Status & Information page both flew SFO-HKG, as well as 895 from ORD

Every once in a great while I look at status of flight I am going to take, or have flown, as I have just before Thanksgiving.
UA's Flight Status page wasn't giving u/g list for Biz, so I looked at seatmap and kept looking for UD

And yes, all other SFO-HKG flights still show 747.
And yes to UA still having trouble with leaving on time:
Scheduled Time: 12:30 p.m.
Scheduled Date: Tue., Dec. 29, 2015
Actual Time: 1:04 p.m.
Actual Date: Tue., Dec. 29, 2015
Any thoughts on this?
Flight Status & Information now shows both 777 and 747 for Tuesday on SFO-HKG as well as ORD-HKG.
