I think you'll find that on a lot of the US airlines -- UA is not alone. They do have aircraft that are designated 'over water' (i.e. 757's that do the HNL run).
Makes you want to be damn sure your upgrade clears so you get a bit more flotation
BTW, where's Spotty on all of this. Would have thought he'd be feasting on this one for days!
