IAD-SIN? No. Maybe ORD/EWR-SIN in the distant future. UA isn't focused on the 778 or 779 right now because they can get 77W's at a cheap price and they will probably announce an order for more within the next year. They will not be like SQ and order a couple of a plane specifically for one route. If they do get 778's, it will be because they are replacing their 772s/77Ws down the line and order a few more for growth.
