It looks like the IAH-ORD/ORD-IAH first flights of the 787 will be flown by the metal currently on test runs...and based on scheduling, I'd imagine that same metal will continue to fly the IAH-LAX/LAX-IAH run later that day. But are the SFO/EWR flights in jeopardy with the other 787s not there yet? According to the fleet tracking site, N26906 is due sometime in October. Is that sufficient time to get the scheduled 787 routes for 11/4 all up/running or is it becoming likely that the non IAH-ORD routes will see an equipment substitution?

Although no window seats left.
Wonder if they'll oversell it...that's one flight I wouldn't want to take a DBC from.

As in:
"will my *A privileges apply if I fly UA plastic only, or also on a code share?"
Any standard commercial jet can cruise that high...

I'm also a bit surprised that it underwent less than 15 hours flight time before today's ferry. Or would the frame have some flight time outside the current registration number?

It was over PUB. It was to make sure it didn't get there too early for the media

If you are a regular channel 9 listener, FL410 is not uncommon.
I have heard from channel 9 once before a WN 73G at FL410, and I have flown a PMUA 757 cruising at FL410 as well.
It all depends on if the upper level winds (or severe turblence) are co-operating or not. There are times that I heard from channel 9 that all westbound flights can only use FL320 or below, anything from FL330 and above have moderate to severe turblence.
