There is no UA 911 or AA 911. Good sense. Even worse if they operated to LGA or JFK.
How about a flight 707 to Seattle or a flight 321 to Hamburg?</font>
I'm pretty sure UA has "never" had a 911. I remember looking through the old UA timetables that listed flights in numerical order and 911 was skipped.
There are also no UA flights that correspond to model numbers of equipment UA owns: no 319, 320, 727, 737, 747, 757, 767 or 777. You can imagine the potential confusion with ATC: "United 757, follow behind the United 757 and the United 767 will give way to you." "No wait, I'M United 767!"
UA 707, however, currently runs MFR-SFO-BUR, and there do exist UA 318, 330 and 340.
Finally, it's probably not coincidence that all the UA Asian flights begin with 8, and very few of them contain the digit 4.
