I'm on UA57 next Monday 3/31 SFO-ORD, I got my upgrade to C confirmed and noticed that UA.com and my travel agent site are showing the NGBC seat maps and no seat assignments available. Seatcounter is showing that flight right now as C2D2Z2I2. This thread had some earlier speculation about this SFO-ORD-SFO turn being used for a few days as the shakeout.

Planemechanic or others in-the-know, any news on what day N182UA is going into service? Are they actually planning to do UA57/UA149 SFO-ORD-SFO turns first as a shakeout?

I know not to get my hopes too high based on seat map (my coworker just had the 767 SFO-IAD switched back to old config the morning of the flight), but I'm taking my camera just in case!
