Winter 2019 plane changes

A number of changes, both upgauges and downgauges, that UA filed for the northern winter. Some of this is qualitative/subjective on my part / based on existing hard product. H/T to Routes Online:

Upgauges / increased frequency:
-GUM-KIX (7x to 10x weekly)
-EWR-GRU (772 to 77W)
-Second EWR-TLV (78J to 77W)
-Second EWR-FRA (772 to 77W)
-SFO-HND (789 to 78J)

Downgauges:
-IAH-LHR (772 to 764)
-LAX-PVG (maintains 789 instead of switching to 78J)
-EWR-BCN (764 to 763)
-SFO-AKL (77W to 78J)
-SFO-PEK (77W to 772)
-SFO-HKG (both frequencies on sCO 772)
-SFO-PVG (remaining on 789 after Feb. instead of 78J)
-EWR-BRU (78J to 772)
-EWR-HKG (77W to 772)
-SFO-NRT (3 of 7 weekly flights from 77W to 772)
-IAD-ZRH (764 to 763)

Some interesting ones in there, wonder if the adjustment is demand-related or due to retrofit needs.
