The website hasn't been updated yet, but rest assured all but 1 have been reconfigured to the 2-cabin international version.

Thanks for the clarification...the "amenities" tab looks to be updated because it's showing AVOD in Y, but the entertainment page on ual.com still says that Y has "9 channels" so maybe that's the part of the website that will take awhile to get changed.

If you just look at the "amenities" info that will just show the old information, however if you click on the seat map it will bring up the new 2-cabin configuration.

Indeed you are correct - I do call them the slave ship... I was shocked to see it on the transcon - I'm used to seeing those things on leisure routes like EWR-LAS ...

Fortunately, Sandy came along and I ended up getting ORC without having to set foot on that thing... ^

That's why I'm still in favor of calling the 787 the new Ghettobird.
In addition to the Y seat width issue, who puts a 20-year-old interior and dark gray wall panels in a brand new plane? If that isn't ghetto, I don't know what is.

A month or two back, I ended up back to back 753 segments, IAH-LAX-EWR (on possibly the most miserable booking I've ever seen: ABQ-IAH-LAX-EWR-SYR on (respectively) CR2-753-753-Q200).

I flew EWR-SFO on a pmUA 752 last week and I'm not sure who the celebrity was (very tall so assuming basketball player?) but he was pretty PO'd that he didn't get upgraded, so the GA's gave him his own row in the back of the bus.
Glad they didn't bump anyone out of F to feed his ego, but I was surprised they could block an entire row like that (both sides of the aisle) ...

If it was a celeberty, he could have purchased an F seat.

TODs most likely. Jeffrey enjoying his $69.
I nominate the zombie 737s with no IFE, if we need to limit it to domestic.
787 for Int'l, though the PMUA 763 IPTE merits consideration in Y. That is ghetto, those bins date back the *click* safety video.
The domestic 777s (and any PMUA 777) are very decent in E+, wider seat, large bins, 2-aisle. No complaints there.

767-300 Ghetto Bird N666UA still appears to be alive and kicking!
