My bet is that it is an IT error. There is no way they are using a CR200 for a TATL flight (they would need at least one fuel stop along the way).
Btw, if it is really a CR200, you may want to change your travel plans. The premium seat there would be most likely a big disappointment if you expect international config C...

Definitely the barcaloungers.
This equipment sub was made possible by the recent STC that came out for all Canadair Jets, regarding airborne refueling. Definitely worth the investment.
On the bright side, I find SkyWest cabin crew to be WAY better than UA or CO's.... so, ENJOY!

It is a new intiative by UA to offer a private jet like feel with the aisle seats blocked ala European business class style.
It is a website error, I have MANY reservations where the equipment says A320, but the seat map shows 735.
Is this a schedule change notice where it is asking you to confirm that you accept the change? Those are the worst when it comes to listing aircrafts, just click on accept and the appropriate aircraft should show in the next page.
I had 13 schedule changes for Jan/Feb, and almost all of them had the wrong aircraft.

similar issue with A319s showing up for TATLs a few months back
http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/unite...-re-a319s.html
lead to discussion of in-air refueling or extra fuel packs.
