Maybe UA will take the 789 off of SFO-ICN and put on a larger aircraft. That route has the O&D alone to support a larger aircraft. If they start ICN-Anywhere else, I would keep but my mouth shut, but there are no rumors pointing to that...

If I recall correctly, wasn't UA rumored to be looking into a second European city from DEN? Also, I am sure we will hear about what routes the 78J will be used on next summer during the winter.
