Don't quote me but I believe next year. What UA really needs are the IGW 78Js. They have a good 430nm of extra range. Plus, if UA went to a less dense version of the aircraft, i.e. bringing the seat count below 300 by adding say two rows of Polaris and maybe an extra row of PP, with a seat count of 297, that is getting pretty close to 772 range.
