Good point. 764 will always in my mind be a CO bird, though.
On a tangent, 3-class 763 has always been my favorite pick for intl. travel since IPTE. I am going to really miss both the F-class and the old Y seats - in fact, the 3-class 767 is the last aircraft in UAL’s entire fleet to have those lovely old seats, which date back to 1995 when 777-200 was introduced with that tiny PTV monitor. Sad to see it go, but it’s time.
Back on topic, glad the new [edit: 3 new 763s] birds will still have the UA ending - Fitting the first 777 is registered n777ua - what are lovely name to have indeed.
