Are these clunkers out of the fleet yet?
I'm worried that I have some ATL-ANC flying to do this summer in F, and the 763 domestic seat map is showing up.
Assuming there's no other plane available, seems like a decent route choice for a bad plane (long, not business heavy, kinda neglected, etc.) but ill have to switch to connecting flights if the domestic 763 is operating it. Nearly 3500 miles is FAR to much for those bad F seats.

I just noticed that SLC-HNL is switching to a 75H next April which has been on a domestic 767 the past few summers and A330 in the winter months. That’s quite the capacity cut on a route that is almost always full especially in the summer time.

Could just be a placeholder. That's a long way for a 752 without diversion points.

TATL is different, since there are diversion points along the way. You sure about UA using a 757 on DEN-HNL? Not sure that complies with ETOPS rules.

If the 757 being used is equipped with the standard ETOPS 180 rating required for mainland-HI flights, I don't see what the problem is as 757s go from the west coast to HI every day so not sure what the issue is flying from SLC instead is.
