Well, I will be on 1435 - and it is listed as a 787. So it will be really interesting to see how this compares with the 767 run last week. And I will post a trip report.
Hopefully the baggage handling will be better than the shambolic mess at SFO last Sunday.

When the aircraft goes back in service how about a re-inaugural. Just kidding, I was on the first flight and the experience was fantastic that is why this situation is somewhat unexpected also considering the delay in the 787 program. When UA puts the 787 back in service I wounder what the first flight will be.

Presently, I'm sitting on what was scheduled to be a 787 that was down gauged to a 767-400. I'm in F so I guess it could be worse, but I was hoping to be finally flying the 787 after being teased on it at SMD 2.

I missed the inaugural because I was in HK, but I managed to catch a 787 flight in December... so at least made it In Before The Grounding!
