UA will be taking delivery of the "ACF" configuration, which deletes the 2L/R door pair forward of the wings (these days it is very rare to use it for boarding, anyway... most newer deliveries do not have a full-height 2L) and adds 2 overwing exit pairs like an A320, plus a larger door 3.
That's a shame... One of the things I'll miss most about the 757 is 2L boarding.

That said, if eliminating 2L/R means more F seats, I'm all ears for that.
