Hello Fellow FlyerTalkers!
I have created this thread for those of you who would like to track the United Airlines fleet upgrade process: IFE, seat upgrades, class upgrades, E+ being added to PMCO aircraft, aircraft painting or anything related to the United and Continental fleet, this is the right thread! I have created a website to track it in an easier format. I will update it on weekends and on Wed or Thursdays, and to see what I updated can be found on the Welcome Page.
https://sites.google.com/site/unitedfleetsite/home
Sit back, relax and enjoy the test flight!
FOR any comments, suggestions, errors or questions please leave them on this thread and I will reply ASAP.
THANKS!

What kind of Y is going into the UA 763 domestic? BF in front, what kind of Y in the back? Specifically IFE and seat type?

From the fleet plan 3 will be retired in the 2 quarter and two others will be retired in the 4 quarter of this year. Right now there are only 8. I am not sure which one's will be retired first.

No problem. If you have any questions please let me know.
Right: I have to figure out which 737-800's have which type of IFE. Some have DirectTv, but some don't have any. I will get that fixed by Saturday. I will post the repaint information in the first post. Great Idea!

Regardless, I assume that they will be standardizing this across the fleet soon anyway so hopefully they do go with the best approach.

Nice thread.
Don't forget to update the wiki with the paint progress.
Maybe it would be nice to also track the E+ conversions on the wiki?

I can't recall the UA interface from my SFO-SYD flight in October, but doesn't the main page look similar to this photo of the IFE on the CO 764 with flatbed seats?

Stylistically too, just feels a bit lacking and navigates clunkily, though that's more of an IMO.

No, that's the CO interface. With it, if you leave a movie to check out the air show (or anything else), when you return you have to start the movie from scratch and fast-forward 5 minutes. It doesn't tell you how long the movie is, nor at what point you are within the movie.

Why is the CO retrojet considered "repainted"? Given the plans to repaint the fleet, it still says Continental.
