I also wrote a friend who flies United all the time. He has multiple conversations with United personnel to the effect that widebodies were being moved this fall from EWR/JFK SFO to new international routes.
I realize it's too soon to nab $590 biz fares on this route, but the loss of business singles is more concerning. I believe that I'm the early bearer of bad news.
He did say that in 2024 United will be phasing out the 757-200s for A321 XLRs, and those will have premium economy and Polaris pods. Dunno if that's already above; my post got moved into this thread.
